[quote=nannydebsays]OP, as someone who struggled through unpaid "maternity leave" in my first job, when I didn't know any better, you need to seriously evaluate whether your budget can handle paying for nanny care. If you can't afford to pay her for your maternity leave, you can't afford to pay her to care for both your kids. Nannies are the most expensive form of childcare. Even a shared nanny is, at the least, minimally more costly than daycare. If you cannot pay your nanny AT LEAST what you would pay for daycare, tell her so, and let her find another family for the share. That would be about $3300/month, according to your example.[/quote]
