[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]I have older friends that have wonderful women who have been a part of their household for 10+ years -- first as nannies for their children, then as more of a driver/cook/household manager/housekeeper as the children aged.  They are respected members of the family who play such a critical, and evolving, role for the family.  How do I find that?  [/quote]

How old are your kids now? What is your game plan for maintaining a great relationship with your nanny/manager through the years? What would your expectations be regarding wages as hours started to decline, while responsibilities remained at a high level?

For me to remain with a family for years and years, I would have to genuinely like and have common ground with the parents. We would have to be terrific at communicating, and have a mutually respectful relationship. I would also expect that as the number of work hours declined during the school year that my wages would not decline as well. In other words, I would expect to continue to earn raises and bonuses based on current job responsibilities, and not lose ground financially.

Of course, I would also have to be good with kids of all ages, and happy to work with kids of all ages. I'd need to be willing to expand my skill set to encompass being a "family manager", a tutor, a chef, a driver, and so forth.[/quote]
