[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a nanny but I think k what you are paying is drastically low for two children and ridiculously low for three.  Just because one is in school does not negate her duties.  There will be many days when she has all three.  If you want to keep her, sweeten the pot.[/quote]

This is true, there are a lot of early release days and school holidays. Can I ask whether you think the weekly rate is low? I know the hourly rate is low, but we pay a lot of OT hours every week. I have friends who need only 40 hrs/week and they pay their nannies much less on a weekly or annual basis because of the lack of OT.[/quote]

You have a nanny that you and your children love and who loves your children.  Personally, I would bring her up to $25/hr minimum which is still low for three children.  I would also pay half her medical insurance.  What is peace of mind for your children worth to you?  [/quote]

I appreciate the sentiment of $25/hour in a vacuum, but we pay for 52 hours per week. That would be $1450/week or $75k per year, plus taxes and preschool on top of that. I just think that's too much.[/quote]
