[quote=Anonymous]OP here. She offered 5 days PTO and she says they travel very often, like 6 weeks a year, in which case I'd get paid the same while they were gone. She said I can choose whether or not I want taxes taken out. She said I would use her car for outings. She was very adamant that I take them on outings everyday, even when the weather is bad.  Which was also a little annoying to me. With my current job, I love having the freedom of taking my charge on outings if/when I feel like it. My MB doesn't freak out if we stay home one day. She knows her child is still getting enough stimulation.

She seemed to be experienced in having a nanny and seems to treat her current one very well, in all areas except for pay. I don't understand. She's coming from a HUGE city but only paying her full-time "rockstar nanny" (her words) $11/hr? She said things like "she's like my second brain, she knows the routine better than I do, we're devastated to be losing her". Their nanny has been with them since the 3 year old was 6 months old. So has she gotten raises and she used to make even less than $11? Maybe she started very inexperienced? Even then, I can't imagine that $500-ish a week is a liveable wage for anyone with any sort of bills or rent to pay.

I guess now I'm just venting, I already know this job isn't my first choice and I won't take it unless she agrees to pay me a lot closer to my current wage. Thanks for continuing to chat with me, DCUM. [/quote]
