[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Up to $25/hour? Those are top, top pay rates for one child. As in, almost no one makes that. If she was offering market rate, and you came back with "I'm not sure you're the right family for me," it sounded like a brush off. You need to decide what your hourly rate is, not try to play games with potential employers. You might be able to negotiate $1-$3 more per hour, especially if the initial offer is low, but you can't just expect people to jump when you play hard to get. I want a nanny who is excited about my job, not one I have to chase and grudgingly agrees. It's a bad idea to chase romantic partners, and a bad idea to chase nannies. A good relationship only comes out of being upfront and honest about your needs and feelings, in both cases.[/quote] +1 If I interview a potential nanny and she doesn't seem pleased about both the job AND the benefits that I'm offering, then I would look elsewhere.
