[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a live-in nanny who works six days a week, 8 am to 6.30 pm.  In practice, her Saturdays are much shorter than this.  We started her at $400/week when we had a 1-year old, and raised to $500/week when his sister was born two years later. [/quote]
It should be illegal to have slave labor and you should be arrested. Where is she from?[/quote]
The word "slave" doesn't mean what you think it means. I'll give you a little hint: when one is free to leave, one isn't a slave. [/quote]
Precisely. If she has no where to go, she isn't free to get away from your abuse.[/quote]

My little darling, she could buy her own apartment with all the money she's saved over the years if she wanted to.  She could certainly rent one tomorrow if she wished.  I guess she doesn't care that what a random internet bozo thinks of her situation. If she wanted to leave, she could have done so a hundred times by now. [/quote]
What a royal ass you are. Shame on you.[/quote]

She has a point. A smart live-in can save a lot of money.  There have been a number of nannies on DCUM who have posted about it. [/quote]
How smart do you think someone who's earning $5.70/hr. might be, Einstein? Even mentally challenged people earn minimum wage in the United States. I'm afraid this poor thing is an illegal who has no place else to sleep, and doesn't want to be swept up by Obama for deportation. Her "payment" is obviously off the books.[/quote]
My little darling! I knew something is not quite right with you.  Let's start with your mathematical abilities.

6 days x 10.5 hrs/day = 63 hrs/week

$500/63 hrs = $8/hr  current wage

$400/63 hrs = $6.3/hr   prior wage

Now, an Einstein I am not, but I can perform elementary multiplication actions just fine.  It's a very sad state of affairs that people are allowed on the interwebz without mastering basic math first.  If it was up to me, I'd make that a requirement before signing up.  You want unlimited internet? very well, here's the multiplication table, please memorize it first. [/quote]
