[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not think it is nuts to pay someone fabulous that much. What I think is nuts is to pay her that much when it equals out to how much your take-home is after working (in most cases) unless the work is simply a professional requirement to keep a foot in the door. [/quote] NP here: I earn about half of what our not-so-fabulous nanny earns. We have 3 kids under 4, and I work part time just to keep my foot in the door. Having the nanny full time gives us a lot of flexibility as a family, and means the older kids can take classes without disrupting the baby's naps all the time. But, my salary doesn't pay our nanny. The family income, including my DH's pays it. I would totally pay what this woman pays for someone who does what her "nanny" (she's a Household Manager, really) does. I'm thinking about hiring someone at $20/hr for 10-12 hours a week to do that work. If I could pay our nanny $30/hr and get all that in one person, absolutely![/quote]
