[quote=Anonymous][quote] Anonymous wrote: You're right. Post the job for $18 and let the new person negotiate up to $20 after their probationary period ends. That leaves you room to give raises and will make them feel good about their negotiating skills. +1 Another MB in agreement. Clearly your nanny told her friend what she was paid so the friend doesn't want to accept less. But hiring someone new, for a revised/part-time position, is not hiring someone to replace your long-term nanny who was at such a high rate. They are not equivalent jobs and you don't need to pay the same. So you lose out on an easy hire, and the candidate loses out on an easy gig - but there are LOTS of people out there in the $18-20 range.[/quote] This. With all your children in school, there is no need to pay such a high rate. You'll find many good PT nannies in the $18-20 range. GL.[/quote]
