[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, your nanny has it made. Nannydeb is unbelievable. Yes, you should give the nanny full pay but agree to only have her work 3 days out of the five that she is working. If you expect her to open the door for a vendor while she is being paid then you should give her a slight raise or a few mini spa days. Yes, getting your ass off the couch is really a lot of work that needs to be well rewarded. [/quote]

NP here.  Totally agree.

This is why nannies get a bad rap.

I am somebody who pays our nanny [i]some[/i] of the hours that the kids are in school (we have worked out an arrangment where we can "bank" some time in case kids get sick, during holidays, etc.).  But we also pay her $18/hour.  I wouldn't dream of paying a nanny $21/hour for - what 40 hours/week - when she is only watching the kids (most weeks) closer to 15 hours/week.   Totally insane.  $21/hour is high if the kids AREN'T in school at all and just absurd otherwise.

We try to fill up our nanny's time with "errands" and other stuff, but she has it made as she RARELY does more than 2-3 hours/week of errands.

OP - if your nanny is not grateful for what she has then I suggest you having a real heart to heart with her....[/quote]
