[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg STOP telling people to give their nanny a week of severance for every year. I’ve *never* received that or heard of anyone receiving that, except for on this board where nannies supposedly make $50/hour for one kid and no chores and they get ten weeks paid vacation. :roll:[/quote]

OP here. I haven't spent any time reading these forums and your response makes me think I came to the wrong place for advice...[/quote]

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not accurate. It’s also not mandatory, but most professions offer a week to a month of severance when being laid off, it is not some crazy DCUM theory. That being said, I’m guessing your nanny knows that she’s working for a lower middle class family and would not expect it. And I am in NO way shaming you for your income, but you should start putting money away for her severance now, even if it is only two weeks pay, which should be the BARE minimum.

To the PP who called OP a daycare parent, shaming parents who use daycare is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. [/quote]

Two, even three weeks we could manage. 5-6 weeks' pay isn't doable for us.

I'm not sure how this derailed to severance! She's been with us for over two years, she's not leaving but staying to care for our just-born baby #2, we gave her a raise. And yes, she knows we are stretching to afford her. We just want to get her some kind of thank you gift as our eldest transitions to preschool! [/quote]

It is wrong of you to keep her when you cannot afford her!  Stay home or put your kid in day care.  You are living beyond your means and this is pure stupidity![/quote]
