[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there are well paying jobs in Georgia, particularly in Atlanta. I've interviewed for some of them.  $3000 a month is less than 700/week, so it's not like you are making some tip top salary in DC. And $3000/semester for health insurance is ridiculous.  I was paying a little more than that ($800/month0 for an individual policy in New York state, which is notoriously expensive for Health Insurance.

I know how tough it is to go through school and be a poor graduate student, but being apart from eachother for such a long time is hard on anyone's relationship.  [/quote]

OP here. My salary is GREAT. I actually only have 2 years experience as a nanny. I'm also worried about being considered a job hopper. I stayed at my previous nanny job for 2 years 
and started a new nanny job 2 months ago. I'm really happy with the current family and I feel like if I leave now it may impact my future employment options. My current job doesn't even know that I am married. How long does a typical nanny stay at a job? I think it's about 1 year or so, right? I don't want to create a job hopping history.

Working and/or living in Atlanta would be hard. I would have to buy a car, which I really don't want to do. I plan to use the UGA bus to get around once I rejoin my husband. I tried finding a job in Athens and Atlanta and didn't have any luck. The families in Atlanta were not offering anything more than $10/hour and I didn't feel like any of them were going to be a good fit for me. I would have to break my apartment lease in DC and leave my current job , which would mean I couldn't use them as a reference. I am very happy with the ways things are going so far. They treat me like a partner in raising their baby and not just an employee. I like that they value my knowledge and experience and often ask me questions. I've had jobs where I left because they treated me more like a teen babysitter or micro-managed me or the dads just gave me a CREEPY vibe. It's really hard to find the perfect fit and I guess I'm scared because I was unemployed in GA and I have had a lot of bad nannys job in the past.
