[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fire her. You hired a dud. But what are you paying? Can’t be much based on the nanny you got.[/quote]

$20 an hour with a guaranteed rate per week.[/quote]

Not a good rate to attract a candidate with actual experience working with SN kids or who wants to work a split schedule. Many nannies can get $20/hr working with one non SN child full time. [/quote]

Thank you. We do realize this, but this was her quoted price. Also, we had several people quote $18-23 when we explained our needs.  For the most part, 1 kid (the 2.5 yo nonverbal) is in school 3 whole days 2 half days and the 4 yo goes 5 half half days.  We wouldn't really have an issue outside of her unwillingness to show her ID and the fact that her daughter requires more care than our 2.5 yo nonverbal grandson.  She said she had worked with special needs kids before. [/quote]

She quoted that rate bc she’s desperate for a job. She knows it’s cheap which means she will be more likely to get responses and a job. As you can see, she isn’t professional, hence the lower rate. You get what you pay for. Period. Any professional and experienced nanny isn’t taking $20 for two SN kids. Nannies with actual SN experience can demand more. Anyone can say they worked with SN kids before and that’s basically what care.com is, a place where people can lie. For SN you need to be looking elsewhere. [/quote]

Thank you so much. I agree. [/quote]
