She gets all holidays, snow days off plus a Holiday and birthday bonus so I think I pay her fairly.


$20/hr for how many kids? above the table or below?

Why would the nanny want to get paid more and have to lose food stamps, free tuition and free healthcare?

You might want to look up "ersatz" before you use it again.

And . . . again. It interests me that people want to comment on an ersatz post.

Are you paying minimum wage, OP, or less? You should be ashamed of your selfishness. Tell the poor nanny that if her kid gets in, you'll foot the bill.

Is that a problem? Then the nanny would probably want to get another job, which seems like a the best scenario here.

Frankly, OP, I would bet anything that her child would add more to the diversity, interest and richness of the class than yours would.

You'd be amazed how resourceful a person who gets by on 400 a week can be. And certainly some people get full or nearly full rides. No, i don't think it's odd for her to apply at all. I think it's odd that you think that way, though.

On a hundred percent scholarship.


Maybe they won't accept your child. Why did you apply?
