Her salary moving with us the first year would be increased from 55k to around 75k plus we are looking at what kind of bonus/gift we could give them for doing this . As it would be a tremendous help to us.
Pp if you can read- you'd see that we could guaranteed 90k in 3 years as long as my own salary increases. If I'm getting raises and can afford to then pay our nanny more why shouldn't I?? We aren't here trying to find a bargain like so many other MBs.
I know she wants to stay home when she has her own children....I would never ask her to compromise that. She isn't living off her income alone. Her husband makes a great living. And from what I have talked to her about most of her income if not all goes towards savings.
You, OP, are a stellar parent. You understand how critical stability is in the world of FT care giving. The retention of your nanny may or may not work out. But at least you want to give it your best shot. That's the most any of us can do, but most don't bother. Beloved nannies are never replaceable.
Talk with your nanny. Maybe send her and her husband to visit the new town. Who knows, maybe they'll both love the place. At the very least, maybe nanny will help get you settled in your new place.
Hugs and good luck. I wish more parents here cared about their children as much as you do.
