[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]If the older kid is away at preschool 3-6 hours then the raise should be less. [/quote]

Why? Is nanny not going to have to care for the child when there is no school? Is the nanny not on call for sick days?

Lowballing a raise because an older child is in school a few hours a week is cheap. Unless nanny is in no way responsible for the child at any time during the year for those hours, preschool doesn't affect a raise for sensible parents when they are adding newborn(s) to their family.[/quote][b]

Because the nanny may be responsible for a child (in addition to another child she is already on the clock for) once or twice a year she deserves money for that child???? If it is such a big deal you can add $2 an hour to the weekly paycheck for the days that additional child stayed home from school.

You really make no sense Deb.[/quote]

On what planet do you live that preschool aged children are home once or twice a year for the nanny to care for? Every preschooler I've ever had first of all had a shorter school year than the elementary schoolers.  Usually started a week or two after they did and were out at least 2 weeks before them in the summer.  Then they have all of the major holidays off, plus several conference/in service days.  Add to that at least 2 weeks for Christmas Break and 1 week for Spring Break (some places have 2 weeks) along with snow days and sick days.  On top of that you have them home for the entire summer.
