[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No OP's nanny has hit the jackpot. The OP is free to do whatever she wants with her money. If she wants to double pay that is fine. I do find this post highly suspicious and unlikely to be true. Why anyone would would up their rate by $10 after a few months is strange. If OP was willing to pay that amount (which is unnecessary) she would have done it from the beginning.  [/quote]

It is sad to me that you find this suspicious, because I believe people should be compensated for the quality of their work.  Up to the point we hired her, our childcare help had largely been younger students, and while they were often great, they spent a fair amount of time checking their phone, and did nothing except interact with the kids (just one child at that time actually).  That was fine because we didn't ask for them to do more.  With our current nanny, she went far above and beyond what we had asked of her, and I felt the extra was worth $10 more dollars an hour.  I used to spend my entire weekend doing laundry - now I don't. I used to have a chaotic mess to clean up after the other nannies left, because kids make messes when they are playing and having fun, which was fine with me, but it was still another task for me to do when I was pretty tired after a long day.  Plus all the other things she just took on and did around our house.  I'm sorry that you find it suspicious that someone doing all of these things wouldn't be worth $10 more an hour to you, but to me it is definitely worth it.  I gladly, and with no regrets, hand her that check at the end of every week.  To me, she is worth every penny.
