[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do another $2.50 an hour with room for growth.[/quote]

Room for growth is for people who give appropriate raises. OP doesn't. She started a high end nanny on the low end of the range and left her there. She needs to play catch up AND compensate for a new baby. She needs to plan for at minimum a $3-$4 raise, and if that's the top of their range, make plans for next year when she can no longer afford this nanny. [/quote]

That is not a high end nanny.  That is a nanny.  Hate to break it to you, many people are not getting raises right now.[/quote]

How is she not a high end nanny? Nearly a decade of experience, with a solid track record of maintaining long term positions, various related certifications and special skills, relevant education course work, the ability to juggle the needs of a share and share families, AND OP seems very happy with her performance and the effort she puts in daily. Hate to break it to you, but your average nanny barely speaks English, has no education, flits from job to job, and meets the minimum bar of keeping the kids alive each day. THIS nanny can have her pick of jobs, although it doesn't seem in her nature to job hop. Enough with the people aren't getting raises excuse. That was true a couple of years ago, and that excuse might have worked, but the economy is recovering, people ARE getting raises, and intelligent nannies go where they are valued. [/quote]
