[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because MBs think they own their nannies and that it's a personal slight for a nanny to leave for any reason, with money being the "worst" reason to leave.
I left a great family paying below market rate for one child let alone the 3 I was keeping for a family paying above market for 1 child. I feel no regret. In the end it's MY family I owe my loyalty to, not a nanny family.[/quote]

16:53 here.  I don't think you should regret doing what works for you, but I do think that the fair thing if you feel you are not being compensated well is to address that with your current employer.  There is a big difference between having the nanny lay out the issue and give them a chance to address it vs having the nanny act like everything is fine and then spring it on them out of the blue that she is quitting.  Even if you feel confident that they can ot pay more, it gives them the chance to know that you are not fully satisfied.

And yes, I think quitting strictly for money is a sign of a low-quality nanny--a great nanny looks at long-term fit and compatibility, parenting style, age of children, location, duties, and many other things and a great nanny WANTS to be long term.  A poor nanny doesn't care about switching jobs every other year as long as she can get the easiest gig for the most money.
