[quote=Anonymous]OP here,
I'm a little shocked by some of the reactions since I was just asking for advice on how to handle this situation appropriately. We are first time employers and didn't do much research about nannies prior to hiring ours. I had no idea about annual raises or bonuses until recently. We only discussed whether our nanny and current share family would stay with our addition. We have yet to discuss the financial aspect and are trying to come up with a reasonable offer for our nanny. I'm sure she has her own thoughts considering she wrote our original contract. However, We want to make an attractive offer but not exceed our limit. It doesn't seem like a smart decision to pay more than daycare costs for two children. We participate in a share because it is within our price range and comparable to a center in our area. We could not afford a nanny on our own. That said, most of my maternity leave is unpaid and will be difficult to manage without the added expense of childcare. Would it be reasonable to find a temporary replacement for our family? Possibly find another family to fill our spot until I return to work?  [/quote]
