[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine a nanny making more than a doctor [/quote]

Maybe not, but a nanny could easily net more than a primary care doctor nets after paying the nanny.[/quote]

Not buying it.
Maybe  if one parent was a doctor in a low income clinic and the nanny was some high paid nanny in nyc or something. Otherwise I call bs.[/quote]

Ok, not that it's any of your business but here's how it works.  I'm a physician.  I get paid $900/week GROSS.  My take home is $750/week.  Our nanny gets $19/hr for 40 hours plus 11 of OT so her GROSS is 1,073/week.  Her net is $800/week.  We started out paying her $19/hr for 40hrs with 2hr of OT.  After 1 month she decided her take home wasn't enough because the previous family she worked for had her working 50+hrs/week so she netted 800/week.  She wanted 800/week from us so we increased her hours.  Now she makes more than I do. Believe it, don't believe it, I don't care but I'm pretty sick of the attitude that physicians are making millions.  Not in this day and age.[/quote]

Financial management should be taught in med school.  I can understand why having a nanny would be beneficial to your schedule, but it would probably be more prudent to find  a nanny within your budget.

BTW your nanny sounds unprofessional and like she's taking advantage of you. Who asks for a raise after working a month and who in their right mind would give the nanny one?[/quote]
