[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everybody for confirming what I already believed. My nanny lives approximately 10 minutes away and although I like her, she's not extra extraordinary or over-the-top good so if she chooses to leave over this then so be it.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could say to her if the passive aggressive attitude continues? I want to somehow show her that this isn't a common perk for not only nannies but most jobs. It just kind've tweaks me that she assumes it is and is acting unprofessional.[/quote]

I'm the poster who said she is not entitled to this but that if you liked her you should try to gauge if her commute would be a dealbreaker for her - 10 minutes???? Wow. She's got a lot of nerve.

What you should say is what you would say, or what your manager would say, at your own job. "The attitude you've been bringing to work is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. We don't hold it against you that you asked for this new benefit - no one would get anything in life if they didn't ask for it - but this is not a perk that most people receive, including nannies. Here are the numbers of some nanny agencies in our area. I'd recommend you give them a call to chat about typical compensation and benefits packages. If after those conversations you still feel that what we're offering is unfair, please let me know and we will schedule a(nother) formal sit-down to discuss it. However I still expect you to bring the enthusiasm and professionalism I saw during your interview/first few months to work every day."

Sorry OP, she sounds really entitled. I hope a firm reality check shakes her up into performing better but I'd be on your toes in case you need to find a replacement soon.[/quote]
