[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are a mean bully, 22:45 and I'm sure I am not alone in wishing you would take your silly irrelevant questions and nasty retorts and troll some other forum.

OP, your rate is very high to start. [b]The only downside I can see is that your nanny will expect large raises and bonuses and you could price yourself out of being able to keep her[/b]. I also agree with the PP who suggests that you are very specific in the contract what public holidays you are offering. Good luck.[/quote]

As  an experienced nanny, I respectfully disagree with the bolded comment. I've been paid the average rate in a position, and the top of the scale in a nanny share position.  My main client negotiated the required hours, and saw that I got paid, for what she thought I was worth.  I never expected, a large raise, and because I cared for so many children, my bonuses were amazing.  I never had a monetary expectation. Not every nanny views their employers, as [b]horns of plenty[/b].  These clients still kept me on the job, after one of them was briefly unemployed, because they wanted to maintain a state of normalcy with their kids. I was there for 5 years, and I'm still a part of the family.  If dealing with greedy, opportunistic nannies, has been your experience, how unfortunate for you! It still doesn't mean you should make a sweeping judgment  about people who spend a considerable amount of time, with your children.  That would be like me assuming all potential employers will try to nickel and dime me, give me bounced checks, be rude etc. One doesn't instantly equal the other.[/quote]
