[quote=Anonymous]We had a nanny for 5 years. She began when my twins were 2 weeks old. She got pregnant after 2 years with us, took 6 weeks off, and came back with her baby in two. For the last 2.5 years she had our twins ages 2.5-5yo and her baby age newborn-2.5yo. She ultimately left when she was pregnant with her second, though we probably would have still kept her on if she felt she could handle it. Honestly, she never missed a beat. She was never late, her own child never interfered with her reliability. We had an agreement that if her baby was sick, she would find alternate care (her MIL or friend) and still work. As far as pay, we hired her in 2014 at $21/hr and gave her raises for the first 3 years which brought her to $25/hr. The last two years, we didn't give her a raise because she was bringing her daughter, but also never decreased her pay. We still did 1-2 weeks pay christmas bonus each year. Honestly, we've had 2 part time nannies since her and neither comes close to filling her shoes. So IMO if the nanny seems good and confident she can handle all three, let her. You can always do a 1 month trial period to see if it is working out.[/quote]
