[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]17:11, you are correct because no nanny has tbe right to make a decent living and a nanny should be tethered to your child until you decide to kick her to the street. Your analogy of nanny to an office employee is ludicrous.[/quote]

Oh please. Play me another tune on your tiny violin, poor victim. If you don't like what you make as a nanny, find a new profession. [/quote]

Agreed.  Some of these nannies need to get a grip.  If she didn't like the pay, she didn't have to take the job.  No one held a gun to her head.  She could have tried to hold out for a job watching two kids (higher pay) or a full time job.  If she was so inexperienced that it was hard to find those things, then she is not entitled to such a high pay b/c of lack of experience as in any profession!  It seems she thought she would find Tues/Thurs work.  OP, have you tried posting for work on other websites (DCUM, sitter city, care, etc)?

You can always approach your MB, but if it were me I would say no.  Not because I"m trying to deprive you of a "decent living" as some crazies on here would like to argue, but because I don't want a nanny share for my child.  If you've only worked for me for 4 months, I can't imagine the attachment would be so great or amazing, that I would be too scared to loose you as an employee because you threaten to leave because of finances.  I would more likely be annoyed you hadn't thought through what you could afford ahead of time.  If I think you are great, and want to help you make more money, I would offer to post on DCUM and elsewhere on your behalf for Tues/Thurs work, and then be a good reference when you start interviewing.
