[quote=Anonymous][quote]Op here I think this post has taken a different tune. I am not upset about how I am much I am paying her to work. I am upset about how she handled the situation. If she had come to me and said, " I really need a little but more money to pay me bills. Can we please work something out? " I would not even blink and eye. I would have paid her because I do think she is doing a good job and it is not a lot of money in the long run. 
I am just taken back by her ultimatium. I am planning on talking to her about it directly. But, I was just wondering how others would handle it. I would like her to be happy, but at the same time I don't want to be a push over.[/quote]

OP, don't go down that road. Your nanny is an adult and her paying her bills is her business. You need to offer a fair rate for the service she provides. You are more than doing that. Your rate is above the average rate for this area, and considering she doesn't drive (I don't think the language thing is a big deal, personally) you are overpaying.

If her attitude is bad, and it sounds like it is, and her knowledge of the market and math are so bad, you might want to start over with a new nanny.[/quote]
