[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that she think $600 a week is good pay makes me ill. [/quote]

+ 2 --- Think of this everytime a parent on this forum claims to pay the nanny well, but of course neglects to say how much. :)

No one dares to ask what the going rate is here either. Some topics are best avoided in this forum. [/quote]

Did this nanny work 30 hours or 50 hours? . She could have been paid $12/hr or $20. I doubt anyone experienced would have taken  $12 for twins. $15-20 I could see. The article does not say.

Some moms need more than 40 hours of coverage to do their jobs, due to commute. I used to need 50. Other moms with nannies only needed 30, with staggered schedules with their spouses. So I reserve judgment on whether the nanny was underpaid. The author sounds really tiring of a boss though. In her heart, she wants to be a SAHM. She should have. But that phase will pass. A lototal of first time moms have this guilt and resentment and mixed feelings when they first put their baby with a nanny or at daycare. Then those feelings pass.[/quote]
