[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny has been with us for close to 3 years.  She came along when DC1 was 4 months and now we also have DC2 who is one year old.  We pay fairly.  We give her about 4 weeks paid time of, pay her sick days which are unlimited.  We pay for her metro as she does not drive.  Gave her $2.5K bonus this year.  Help her with some of her errands since she does not drive.   She has been exceptional during the first year.  She was pretty good during the second.  Now she is becoming a pain for me.   She is constantly unhappy and exerting psychological pressure on us.   just to give an example, we gave her time of so she could rest up from 12/23 to 1/3.  We did not have vacation ourselves and worked.  We had to come up with a different arrangement for those days and she got paid by us.  When we returned she fell sick and did not work half of this week.  This is unfortunate.  We paid her.   Since I could not find back up child care I ended up staying at home and watching the kids.  Being a software engineer I had to catch up at night on the work and be up in the night to make sure my deadlines are met.   Today I had to go to work pretty early in the morning to make up for the missed time.  So, we could not pick her up at the station as we normally do when the weather is bad.  She was letting my DH know that she is unhappy about that because it is cold.  She also said that she needs to leave earlier today because it is her pay day and it takes her a while to put money in the back.  She of course wants to get paid for hours not worked.   This means I have to leave the work early.  I can always leave work early and say it was an emergency or something and then make up the work when everyone is sleeping but I am getting pretty pissed about the attitude.
