[quote=Anonymous]MB here and I think it's wrong to make these kinds of comments.  I decided to hire a nanny, I decided to retain the nanny because that is the solution that works best for our family.  The extent to which that may or may not be financially challenging for me and my husband is not the nanny's problem - nor should it be on her mind at all.

If I can't afford a nanny then I shouldn't hire one.  If I do hire one I need to be prepared to treat him/her professionally.

I also think that kind of professionalism should extend both ways.  It makes me extremely uncomfortable when our nanny talks about her financial challenges.  It makes me feel like she's wrangling for more money, or hoping we'll pay her bills, or I don't know what.  She is paid competitively, gets generous raises/bonuses etc... so I hate being put in the position of feeling guilty or responsible somehow.

That goes both ways.

I'm sorry this kind of behavior seems so common from employers - it's just wrong.[/quote]
