[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know how you feel and it's a tough decision but unfortunately only one you and your DH can make. We are in a similar situation, we have a wonderful nanny who we pay more than I make but we decided to just accept that we aren't going to save any money for the next few years while we need a full time nanny. For us we decided that childcare was going to be our number 1 priority now but that was what we thought worked best for us. Eventually I will make more and we won't always need a full time nanny. You and DH need to decide if this will work for you or if you need to find a new nanny. I'm sure you could find someone equally good with your DC who doesn't do the laundry and make the baby food but who will charge less. [/quote]

We have a nanny because it is in the best interersts of our children. We could find cheaper options, i.e. daycare, but our kids need to be at home outside of school hours and have individual attention. However, we do pay when we are on vacation, why should she suffer because we choose to go away? We guarantee 30 hours a week 52 weeks a year and give two weeks paid vacation.

Maybe you can offer a compromise by not increasing her hourly rate, but pay her when you are away, and offer some PTO?[/quote]
