[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, you find the best candidate for the wage you offer. For perspective We pay our nanny $18 an hour and proper overtime and paid vacation and we just did the taxes and her W2 it ended up at $41k in wages including taxes.  Which does not include employer federal tax contribution. So that’s another 6-7k we paid. That’s not bad considering it’s one easy kid, run of the house, 8 hours, no driving and we come home early regularly and let her go. [/quote]
If she's happy, that's all you need. But I still wonder what her monthly budget looks like. Does she have to live with someone to make ends meet?[/quote]

She bought a townhouse with the help of her kids (she’s older) and using her pay stubs for the bank. She rents out a basement suite to someone as well. [/quote]
So fortunate that her children are able to help support her on your low wages.[/quote]

If wages were as high as you’d like then a nanny would only be for one percenters.  [/quote]
Considering she's an older woman, you really ought to pay her a living wage. Instead, she must depend on her children and a housemate to survive. And you have bargain childcare. Would it really break the bank to pay her an additional dollar or two an hour? Pay her what she's worth to you. No doubt your life would turn upside down if you had to replace her, not to mention your child's life.[/quote]
