[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here--This is a tough one.  I agree that you're paying a lot but also that you can't really get away with asking her to do more for the same amount (although my boss manages to do it all the time!). The 6 hours/week in preschool really doesn't matter either. There will be enough sick days, holidays and other school closures that she will realistically wind up with 2 kids the vast majority of the time.

Perhaps you could just offer $1/hour and leave it at that.  That's most likely what I'd do.  [/quote]

Ditto.

You've boxed yourself in a bit by paying well over market price OP.  But if you advertised the job with a newborn and a preschooler, at anything above $20/hr, you will be flooded with applicants.  So you have lots of flexibility in your rate, just not with your current nanny unfortunately.  Maybe there are some other perks you could offer her? Some additional vacation time?  Week off between xmas and new years? (That's pretty easy to do this year and next with the way the holidays fall.)[/quote]
...especially with nannies who aren't too bright.[/quote]
You don't really know anything about them. [/quote]
We all certainly know that different people have different standards.[/quote]
But you don't know how bright any of them are, or how justified their standards are. [/quote]
