[quote=Anonymous]No raise, no way. Time for a new nanny. I wonder if she actually thought that acting like this job was so hard would convince you to give her a raise?

If anything, the younger child should be getting easier to integrate with the older one -- he can play, eat regular food, schedule is more predictable, diaper blowouts should be over (or nearly so) ...

And, she's getting paid well the rest of the year for an easy job. In august, it's a little harder than usual. Too bad. It's like any jobs, some "seasons" or weeks are a lot of work, sometimes you can sit on your phone.

This will not be fun, but if you move on, you will be so much happier.

I think you say, "Nanny X, it is really clear that we are just not on the same page about this job. We've done everything in our power to make the two-kid dynamic easier, and it's still really hard for you. Your request for a raise just made the divide between our expectations and yours crystal clear. From our perspective, you aren't really doing the job we're paying you for now. We need to be certain that our nanny can handle both children. They're not going anywhere, and there are lots of breaks and holidays. We will not be paying for additional camps or taking off work to try to help you with them all. It is time for both of us to move on. We will give you a great recommendation for a newborn/infant job, and x weeks of severance. Thank you for all you have done, and I hope you're able to find a better fit."[/quote]
