[quote=Anonymous]A little different perspective I paid my way through college working as a nanny.
How  are you going about hiring these women?  Have you made it clear that you would like them to stay the year?

You say the nannies you have hire have pursuits beyond being a nanny are they in fields outside of education?

Nannying is a great money maker or space filling job until something in their field opens up. I suspect this might be what you are running into.

Recent grads needing an income until they are offered an entry level job. They are able to make money with you in the afternoons, but still have the mornings to job search  and interview.

You could try  a college student that is an education major or something similar . Still able to help your children with studies, has goals outside of being a nanny, but not as likely to  quit when something in their field opens up.

My other thought is perhaps you feel  too much like   a parent to the people you hire if you get my drift.

As for payment that's up too you. As a rule of thumb a little money is always nice. Again a college student would be happy to know they have a job to return to in the Fall.

I apologize for the grammatical errors. I have been up all night with a sick 3 year old and a newborn.[/quote]
