[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here is the deal, If you want your nanny back you need to find other perks that will compensate for less salary. I would say the min is $19-20hr. Then I would start talking vacation time, 4 day weeks etc. You mentioned that you have your mom and sister in the area so this is feasibly possible for you. It allows you to get quality childcare, provide a living wage to a nanny, and keep the nanny happy without breaking the bank. I am a nanny, and I understand that when you can't afford a certain salary its totally understandable. i am sure twins were a surprise for you as well, and the pp who said to stop having kids is just rude. However getting creative with benifits, and compensating in areas you can afford will go a long way in finding good childcare. I stand by this post even if your old nanny turns down the job or has found another job, use this to find a good nanny.

P.S
This is from a CA nanny who cares for 4mo old b/g twins and makes $21hr and I would accept the offer below.

Your offer could go like this 
$18.50-$19hr 
40hr guaranteed(or whatever the norm work week is)
3weeks vacation

Optional(ideas) 
every 6 weeks you could offer a 4 day work week 
You could have your sister or whomever come and relieve the nanny early on Fridays or random days
Extra little thank you notes, or $10 Starbucks gift cards every now and then as a "just bc" 
Things like this go a long way, and you can get creative and come up with your own stuff too!

I would go back to my former family for a deal last me this.

I'd actually go back for my old deal, but I have loved working for all my nanny families, and you can't put a price tag on great employers in my opinion.[/quote]
