[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - two other things I forgot to mention in my original post.  First, this 22 per hour nanny lives in our neighborhood and can walk to work - a huge deal in Los Angeles where traffic is as bad and unpredictable as it can get.  Second, this nanny has a washer/dryer in her apartment while we only have a communal laundry room downstairs - and this nanny has offered to bring the baby's laundry home with her every night and do it on her own time (which she is currently doing at her present nanny job).

Yes, we can afford (barely) her rate if we stop all luxuries like going out to eat - but no one wants to be taken for a chump.  [/quote]

Ugh. It sounds like she would be great for your family, but that you cannot actually afford her. She shouldn't be taking your baby's laundry home, doing it in her own time, or spending money on the utilities and detergent to wash baby clothes, which have to be washed constantly. She sounds a little desperate for some reason, and is trying way too hard, and you sound like you're reaching for something you can't afford, and will inevitably take advantage of her. Move on OP.

OP here and how in the world did you come to such ridiculous conclusions about me or the potential nanny?!  You are dead wrong.  Please move on and don't bother commenting on my thread again!  [/quote]
