[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been with the same family (with 2 small kids)for about 3 years and I’ve taken just 1 sick day.  Are you sure your nanny isn’t looking for another gig? Paying $27 for 4 kids is a bit low; I wouldn’t take anything less than $30

Pump up her hourly rate and I assure you she won’t take more ‘sick days’

I don't think raising her rate should improve or dissappear the burn out that I think your nanny is possibly having.  As a nanny I think she must be looking for a new job.  Less kids, less responsibilities, maybe less drop offs and pickups ups or posible none.  I could say that when a Nanny is going through something like and feeling the "burn out" already;  it doesn't matter the money or if the employers decide double her salary.  As a nanny it's not always about money.  To OP, hopefully you would have in your mind she is about to leave and start looking for someone new;  and obviously improve your rate to this new hire.  Good luck. [/quote]
