Does your nanny's sense of well-being matter to you?

[Anonymous]

1. Why or why not, does your nanny's sense of well-being,
matter to you?
2. How long has she been working with your child(ren)?
3. How old are your children?
4. How long do you hope to retain her services?
5. How many years has she been working with children?
6. What is her compensation package, and your general location?

Ugh, you're completely over-thinking whatever your point is in asking these questions. The well-being of every single person I interact with (and even some I don't) maters to me, to a certain degree. I'm sure it's the same for everyone.

Yes, of course my nanny's sense of well being matters to me.

I think OP is trying to resurrect/restart arguments around compensation. See the recent thread on cost of living and "living wage".

Yeah OP, this argument is already being hashed out elsewhere.

FWIW my bosses care a great deal about my well-being; they pay at the top of the market ($20/hr), give me great PTO/holidays/vacation, provide a stipend toward my health care, give me Christmas and birthday bonuses and gifts, and paid me my FT salary for four months when I was unable to work. I've been with them two years and hope to stay for one or two more (depending on when I decide to start/get into/can pay for grad school) but would stay forever if I was going to make nannying my career. They're absolutely wonderful.

So just a shout out to all the MBs here who care about their nannies and do everything they can to treat them well. We know you're out there and we greatly appreciate you!

$20 ia hardly top of the market... it's slightly above the average for DC of $18. I make $35 and can still go higher.

I really wish I could meet you in real life. Is this an act, or are you actually this crazy/annoying? Are you really a nanny, or are you posting from some mental institution? Do you truly believe your delusions? Are you a compulsive liar?

Does she earn more than you? Is that why you're so mad?

She actually does have a wonderful attitude. She's happy with her job and her life. She's happy with her salary so what is the purpose of telling her you make more? Does it make you feel good about yourself to do that? Interesting that you don't write posts like PP showing how content you are with your life, it's always just about the money with you...that's sad.

And for you it's about getting a gold star? Excellent!

I was also going to correct that major error, as $20/hr is NOWHERE near the top of the market, FYI.

Um, no that's not at all what I said. It's about having a good attitude and being happy with yourself and content with your life. Some people can never make enough money to be happy, some are completely happy with a more modest life. I'm not saying it's wrong to want to make more money. I think it's great for you that you make $35/hr. I actually believe that you do. I'm just not sure what the point of flaunting it all the time is unless you aren't happy with your life and it makes you feel better to talk about how much money you make. PP is happy with her $20/hr. You wouldn't be. That's fine but you don't need to put someone else down who is happy just to make yourself feel better.

Someone claimed $20. was at the top of the market. At least two of us have corrected that mistake. That's all. No need to get nasty about being corrected.
