[quote=Anonymous]She sounds great OP - but I can totally see how that rate is tough, especially for one infant. I like the PP's suggestion about countering at $20 or 21, and I would also be pretty direct with her that you really want to hire her but the rate - even at what you offer - will represent a real stretch for you and leave you with no room to offer her annual raises or a bonus or any compensation for great performance. THings like this are a negotiation. She may be terrific but there may be other candidates out there (especially at the $20/hr level) and you may offer her other things she values beyond just compensation. The idea of not having to worry about holidays/sick leave/health insurance, etc... is pretty attractive to me as an MB but knowing that I'm starting a nanny at a rate outside my comfort level might be a deal breaker for me.[/quote]
