[quote=Anonymous]Would you consider sticking with a family you liked if you would have to take a $110/week pay cut?

Situation is that our nanny share will be dissolving and I am thinking about making my nanny an offer for just us, rather than look for another share family.  I am trying to come up with details that would be financially doable for us, but still fair for the nanny.

Basically, the job would go from a share (paid at $18.50 avg per hr for 47.5 hrs) to a single child ($17.50 per hr for 40 hrs). This would amount to a $110 pay cut per week, though she would be working 7.5 hours less a week.  On the other hand, we would also raise her paid vacation days by 15 days or more a year (we have travel already on the books; she otherwise would have to come in to work with the other family).  If we were to become her sole employer, we would keep her health care and transportation stipends the same as when she was being paid these by two families (so there would be no decrease on this front). Of course I know that the only person who knows whether the nanny will think this is fair, is the nanny herself, but I wanted to get some feeback from from the sharks of DCUM :)   Not sure if this is pertinent, but we pay the nanny legally and would continue to do so. Her duties would not increase at all (no housework, etc).

Thanks!  [/quote]
