[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] We did pay her a lower rate in our share due to the language barrier and that she cannot drive. [/quote]

OP you are overpaying BIGTIME for a nanny that doesn't drive and can't speak english. Nannies with these deficiencies can barely find jobs offering $10-$12. $17 is unheard of for a nanny who lacks basic communication and driving skills. [/quote]

PP - I do not think you are correct.  I pay our nanny $17 for one kid.  She does not speak English at all and does not drive.   My child is growing speaking two languages.  I can communicate with the nanny because I speak her language as well.   This nanny takes care of my DS really well and he loves her.  She also goes above her agreed upon duties and cleans our house during nap times.  She is never hesitant to help us out.  I remember a post on here with a nanny complaining about being asked to clean out a car she is driving her charges in.  Our nanny saw how messy my car once and offered to clean it for me.   Why would not I pay $17 per hour?   [/quote]

And I'm sure you took her up on it? Why would you allow or expect your nanny to clean after you? That's ridiculous. So just because your nanny uses the car that is also driven by you and your kids when she's off means she is expected to clean it? Oh and I'm sure you leave your dinner dishes overnight for her to do the next morning? And stick your dirty clothes in the kids laundry pile too? [/quote]
