[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you still pay her well enough, then she'll likely stay. I know from staying in touch with former nannies that it can be a real horror show out there for them. That said, at some point if your pay is way below market, then she'll have to go. That's just the way life is;  you'll let her go when you no longer need her as well.  [/quote]

Do you really believe that? I would have to be very, very happy in a job not to at least consider a 50% increase in pay for the same work (of course, she doesn't know the particulars of the other job).[/quote]

Op here. I agree with you. 50% is a lot. The other job would be for two kids and I only have one. The hours in mine are also chill and flexible, and no weekends. The other job would be more hours (but then, also more money).

I wouldn't stand in my nanny's way if she wanted to leave-I get it. If we could afford it I would pay her more.  I will take the suggestion of a pp and tell her again how much we appreciate her and if there are any non-monetary benefits we can offer that we would gladly do so.

I think our pay is competitive for where we live, but not at the very top. Our nanny is phenomenal but a recent immigrant who does not speak English (please don't start-she is here legally). That's how we can afford her. Once she learns English she will be able to command much more than we can pay, I think.
