[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another MB here who sees no problem with poaching as it happens frequently in my industry.  When you want the best talent, you go after them and employers compete for the best employees.  I would do the same for my children.  Yes, there are other ways to find a good nanny but if I knew a nanny who I had observed doing a great job and was dissatisfied with my current child care arrangement, I would have no problem approaching that nanny and finding out if she'd be interested in a position with my family.  It is up to the nanny to decide if she is interested. I would rather hire someone I've observed doing a great job than someone I've only interviewed and done a reference check on.  If people think that means I'm a terrible person, I can live with that.  [/quote]

You can't compare a corporate position with a nanny which is much more personal.  A nanny works in your home and takes care of your children and approaching a nanny that you know has a position shows no regard for another family.  It's not the same thing as a business.  Yes, you have to do what's best for your own family and children but where do you draw the line.  And honestly, it just seems lazy to "poach" another nanny.  There are SO many ways to find an equally good nanny if you take the time and effort to do it.  If the nanny isn't happy at her current job she is free to look for another one. [/quote]

As a nanny, I am commited to my charge but my own family just has to come first. The line is wherever I am best posiitoned to love and protect my own children and husband. You can help me to draw the line in your favor by keeping up with the market in temrs of pay and benefits. It would be selfish of any nanny to prioritize her career over her own family.[/quote]
