[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I bent over backward for our first nanny: never docked her pay or made her use PTO when she was 1+ hours late, or took a sick day, held her job for her through two lengthy vacations (including most of a summer), gave her extra PTO days when her father got ill. We also gave her a huge Christmas bonus despite the 3 months of vacation she had taken during the year. She was a recent college grad nannying for a year or two until she decided what to do with her life. Well, she decided, about a week after taking all of her PTO for the second year (which we gave her at the start of the year). I learned a big lesson, which you are now learning, too. Don't offer more than you feel comfortable with. The nanny's life expectations will trump any extra benefits of a particular job. Also, hire someone who wants to be a nanny and actually needs the job. You will feel so much better working with a grown-up.[/quote]
