[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp again to answer your question what they are offering can be worked out legally.

The red flag to me is they seem to be crunching themselves to afford you which usually means thy will end up replacing you with a cheaper option[/b].[/quote]

We don't know that.  All we know is that their offer is $1,100/week for 55 hours.  It might be that they only are willing to spend 57k annually, not that they can't afford more.  Their offer is not extravagant but it is quite far from cheap.  If that salary is being offered anywhere in the DC Metro area (assuming this isn't for a special needs circumstance or anything requiring unusual training) it is an offer that will command top notch nannies by the dozens.[/quote]

I never said that rate wouldn't get them a top notch nanny, or that the offer was cheap ( don't know the job details,  but  it's likely they are  stretching themselves, the telling thing to me s wanting to pay the average hourly rate .
Even if you are correct in that they want to stick to a budget that still doesn't bode well for OP and longevity.
 Already OP is two dollars below her preferred rate with what this potential family is offering. It's unlikely to get better. BTDT bought the t-shirt.
IT would probably be best for both parties to pursue better options.
The nanny find a family who can pay her rate without issue and the family find a good nanny within their means.[/quote]
