[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the soul sucking PP post. I think those who disagree with her, haven't had a REAL intensive nanny job. One that you give your all to go above and beyond to raise someone else's children. I think it's 1.5-2 years. [b]I give up my life for these kids[/b]. I try to stick around as much as I can, my longest position is 6 years- but at that time you are taken for granted. The family can't afford to give you an annual raise or bonus. In the nanny biz, sometimes the only way to move up is to move on.[/quote]

MB here. Please don't do this for me. I don't need you to give my kids gifts - in fact, I prefer you not. They are given too much stuff already. I don't need little photo books of the kids- we have enough pics of them, and when our last nanny did this (almost each season) DH and I started passing them on to our parents because it was too much stuff. I don't need you to make my bed or anything (I actually prefer you not go in my bedroom at all). Please don't vacuum unless the kids spilled something, in which case please have THEM vacuum and not allow them to have anything that can spill on carpeting. DH and I don't take the people we hire for granted. We want them to do their complete jobs to the best of their abilities, and we are happy to pay for that and give bonuses when appropriate. Having someone burn out is not the goal at all. [/quote]
