[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. FWIW, I think a $2 raise puts us at an hourly rate at the upper end of the spectrum for our area based on surveys I've seen for 2 kids, so glad that seems reasonable. [/quote]
Please report back after you have actual documentation, as in pay stubs. They can delete the social security number. Parents are known to downplay what it really costs to find a decent nanny. They want to pretend they're getting the "best" bargain nanny.[/quote]

Actually, nannies on this board inflate their pay. After I hired a couple of nannies, I realized all of my friends were paying less.[/quote]

A couple of nannies?  I am always leery of advice from anyone who has had a "couple of nannies".

Yes, you can always find someone for any job that will ask for less - just depends on what you want for your child.  Less education, less experience, undocumented and paid illegally, poor English, foreign and unable to run a background check on her, etc. will always get you someone less expensive.  [/quote]

Did you read what I wrote? I was paying [b]more[/b] than my friends for the same quality of nanny. All were legal, all were paid legally. Some had degrees, some did not.

And not that it's any of your business, but I hired my first nanny for part time, then switched to full time with the second child. Nanny #1 couldn't do full time. Nanny #2 left when she had her second child to be a SAHM. We had nanny #3 until we left the state, and nanny #4 is starting her 4th year with us. My oldest will be 8 soon.[/quote]

That is a lot of nannies!  [/quote]
