[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It'd be interesting to note how many nanny employers here don't get health insurance from their employers.[/quote]
Anyone?[/quote]

The parents' pay and benefits at their own jobs has nothing to do with the nanny's pay and benefits.  Different jobs=different pay scales and benefit packages.[/quote]

Oh come now.
You stopped short of saying it:
[b]Different caste.[/b]
That hits the nail on the head.
Admit it. You think nannies don't have the same basic needs as you do. Even the coffee grinders at Starbucks get health insurance. We get it. Your coffee is more important to some of you, than your children.

+1 nannies don't get sick didn't you know? And if they do, they owe society the decency to die quickly! [/quote]

+2 but minus the snark. Employees deserve health insurance. Whether they work at Walmart, as a nanny, or for a law firm downtown, this is a human need we all share. I rant about WalMart and what they do to their staff (and to our nation - look how much their employees receive by way of federal assistance!) and I'll rant about household employers thinking it isn't important too. I'm not suggesting, and I doubt anyone here is, that a nanny employer should make sure their single employee has a $600/month insurance plan with full prescription coverage and a tiny deductible, but I do believe they have an obligation to contribute towards the cost. It should be part of the initial nanny budget, imo.[/quote]
