[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB.  I have employed 2 nannies thus far.  We offered both 2 wks vacation, 10 paid federal holidays, one week of sick leave, and occasional bonus days off per year.

When we hired the second nanny we made one week of vacation our choice, but otherwise it's the same package.

I think that is a pretty standard (and fair, professional) set of benefits.[/quote]

Also (for the person who constantly harps on this) both of those nannies were foreign born, highly experienced, and terrific professionals.[/quote]

I really made a point not to make any judgments on quality of care provided, which can vary as much as anything. But the fact is that an 18yo right out of school is looking for something different than a 45yo immigrant is looking for something different than a grad student who needs to work, etc. I wasn't harping on anything (?) so much as wondering if some employers' experience in not encountering these expectations as they're interviewing primarily younger nannies, say. Sorry if that offended anyone.[/quote]
