[quote=Anonymous]So, we have been interviewing nannies for the last week. We have had hired nannies before, so this isn't "new" for us. However, it is hard to find people during the winter. We have found 2 good candidates, however they are asking for more than we have ever paid a nanny. Our top choice probably deserves $20/ hr due to her experience. She has raised her own kids and has many years of experience. We would absolutely love to have her, but we cannot afford $20. I only have one child and expecting another in a few months. When, I told how much we loved her but could not pay. She asked what we could pay. I told her the top of our range for two kids is $18. And, she said she would accept it. While I feel very blessed, I am nervous because I know she really wants more. And, I am afraid she will work for us and always be unhappy with her salary and it will be hard for us to give her a raise every year. Our oldest is in part time preschool. So, we are paying for preschool plus a nanny. We do think it is fair to pay her for both kids while my daughter is in school because  she is reserving her time for us. I guess my question is, am I being to paranoid that she will be unhappy and leave? Or should I just be thrilled she is willing to take the job for what we can pay? [/quote]
