[quote=Anonymous][quote]Our nanny starts on Monday. There have been several communication issues that have me guessing if she may not be able to read and write. Our nanny speaks English fluently and is a US citizen. English is her second language, but she has lived in the US for 20 plus years. When we were negotiating her contract, she glossed through the contract and wanted to sign it without reading it or asking any questions. My husband and I wanted to make sure she was okay with everything and she was very upset as she misunderstood that we were guaranteeing her a weekly salary of at least $1K after taxes. This doesn't include overtime. We also offer three weeks paid leave of her choice, sick days/personal days, a Metro card for use for the metro and bus and bonuses for the holidays. We will also periodically increase her pay based on performance. She returned her tax and background check documents completely blank. We asked her to complete them and that we could not fill them out for her but would be happy to help with any questions she had as my husband is a tax lawyer and CPA. She said that her past employers completed them for her, which my husband said was illegal and unethical. [/quote]

She's either illiterate and/or manipulative. She is not worth 1K. You made a mistake, move on and hire better the next time. [/quote]
