[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks everyone.  To 13:19, that is basically the conversation we had this morning.  We love her, we value the care she has given our children and the relationship we have developed over almost 5 years, and we want her to stay as long as she wants to work for us.  But, that we also understand if this doesn't work for her anymore and will support her in whatever she feels like she needs to do.

It helps to hear that I was not totally off-base in thinking that $1 a year was fair and it wasn't unreasonable to not be willing to keep going up indefinitely (or in bigger increments).  If she decides it is time to move on, we will most likely go with an au pair, since I'm not sure we could find anyone else who wanted to work the number of hours we offer (average is about 15-20 hours per week) but give us the flexibility that we need (some weeks are 30 hours, others may only be 10) without having to basically pay for full time care (which would result in a lot of unused hours).  I had several au pairs growing up; it was a wonderful experience, we are still friends with many of them, and it sounds like that might be a good option for us whenever our nanny decides this needs to end.

Thanks for the feedback![/quote]
