[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much. These are great ideas.  I know she wants to get a GED and we can pay for a course and perhaps a bonus.  I will talk to her and get her ideas.  I want to be fair.  She truly is a great person and nanny. [/quote]

Given this OP, I think you are ok to sit down with her and just be honest.  Say you are at the end of the line financially but you love her and want to keep her on.  Ask her if she can think of any other incentives that might make it worth her while to remain with you.  She may very well be priced out at her max too.  A nanny without a high school diploma isn't going to demand a high salary, so if you've been given her raises every year, she may stay just because she won't get a better paying job elsewhere.

OP seems very happy with her nanny and her performance. She shouldn't be banking on the idea that a fantastic nanny won't be able to find an easier/better paying job. She can help her nanny become more marketable while also incentivizing having her stay until they are ready to part ways. See how being a good person works out for everyone?[/quote]
