[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are first time parents and hired a nanny for 25 hours a week a few weeks ago. We met her desired hourly wage and provide pretty decent benefits (PTO, sick leave, holiday pay). Our son seems to like her, and she is kind and enthusiastic, but not what I would consider a very seasoned nanny.

That would all be fine, but since she started with us she has been constantly pushing for more hours, and asking about our finances (ie, how much does our housing cost). I work part time in order to spend more time with my kid, which I have tried to explain to her, but she keeps asking why I can't work more hours so we can employ her more often and pay for her transportation like her previous family did.

we are not in a financial position to be the employer she wants us to be, and to be honest, the constant questions are intrusive and annoying. But DS likes her and I hate to make a woman in a bad financial situation even worse off.

Any advice?[/quote]

Just say No to her requests or her questions. Keep the relationship professional and employee/employer.

If she keeps it up, keep not answering her nosy questions, she may jump to another job b/c she needs more weekly income than your part-time job. Or she keeps it up and you get fed up and give her 1 weeks notice. Just say Sorry this is not working out.

Be ready, she may be biding her time until she finds a FT job. [/quote]
