[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's part of the nanny profession. You gotta start again somewhere because families aren't going to need you forever.

It wouldn't be insulting. I'd appreciate the offer regardless of rate.[/quote]

This.  It might be more insulting if your nanny knows your sister needs a nanny at the same time she'll need to find a new job and you don't at least ask her.  Plus, she probably knows she's in the high end of rates and it can be difficult to find a job with the same pay/benefits.  I'd probably figure out a way to phrase it so that she doesn't feel bad if she does have to turn it down.  Something like "Hi X.  I know you know my sister is looking for a nanny right about the same time that DS is off to kindergarten.  We've had such a great relationship with you and think you are a wonderful nanny, and my sister would be very lucky to have you help with her child.  These are the rates she can afford, which I know are much less than you are making now.  I/we won't be offended if you would rather seek out a higher paying position, but I/we at least wanted to offer you the position. " [/quote]
