[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not unreasonable, but you can't make her see it that way.  She's now going to be unhappy and dissatisfaction will probably start coloring how she feels about her job and how she performs.  If I were in your position and she wasn't happy about the proposed change, I'd start looking into alternate care options.

There are many nannies on DCUM who only want to do childcare and are not interested in keeping a job longer by transitioning into taking on other tasks as the kids get older. It sounds like your nanny is one of them, so let her go find a new family in need of infant care and OT.[/quote]

I think the 2.5 hours is not enough. Give her a real half day so she could conceivably take a class at the gym or go out for coffee and still wake up late. Or, if you add up all of those 2.5 hours, you get 16 8-hour days. Maybe double her PTO (or give her an extra week); something she can really use.

Or, if she's really not happy, let her go. I think it's fair to tell her you've reached the top of your pay scale, and this is the way it will be going forward, and let her decide what to you.[/quote]
