[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a new nanny. Adding a baby is always more work and more stress, but most nannies should get the hang of it after the first few weeks, so yours is just not up for the job.

[/quote]

Then why do you only give a $1 to $2 raise for all the extra work and stress? [/quote]

you work 9 hours a day, every time the children age the routine changes, sometimes they even leave for 3-4 hours of morning pre-school, other times you drive them to classes. And still other times they nap 2 or 3 times a day for cumulative 4 hours.  BFD, you work 9 hours a day.  If you find yourself complaining about how hard it is you just also admitted that no amount of money will change what you deem difficult to do.  Do parents want to may $800, $900, $1000 a week to someone who thinks caring for 2 or 3 children is too difficult and stressful for them?? HELL NO.  They will go pay that to someone who has a good attitude, energy and is organized enough to care for more than one sleep baby or one kid. You work 9 hours a day, telling your boss you don't like being busy after coasting through before will not go over well. [/quote]

This is nothing more than a poor attemp at you trying to justify exploiting a domestic worker.  When additional work and stress are added to a job, additional FAIR pay is expected.  If my duties were increased 100 percent, you can bet I would get a commiserate salary increase or I would be long gone.[/quote]

Then please, please explain the argument that a nanny who brings her child to work should not receive a pay cut. Every nanny claims 1) she will still do the same fabulous job and her nanny kid will not lose any attention, and 2) that it's actually a benefit for the nanny family because it provides socialization and a play mate.

But add a new nanny child or a share partner, and suddenly the workload increases 100%? Ha![/quote]
