[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A wonderful nanny - never late, never in a bad mood and never texts or makes personal calls when she is working (we have nanny cams and I know that she carries an inexpensive flip-phone just for DH and I to call her).  I was the only employer who posted that they could answer "yes" to the three questions posed last week.

She is a college graduate with graduate school credits in ECD and years of experience.  She is truly great with our baby and the baby loves her.  She has handles all child related chores including making his baby food and doing his laundry (at her home on her off hours without pay as she has a washer/dryer in her apartment and we don't - she said it was easier for her to do this rather than haul a baby to the basement). The baby has been learning and thriving in her care.  Further we have no worries about his health or safety.

She has been at $18 an hour for 34 hours with no other benefits other than guaranteed hours for this last full year.

She has asked for either a $2 an hour raise or a $1 an hour raise with 2 additional hours added to her schedule.  Further, she has asked to be paid for any vacation weeks we take off and the option to make up any hours she loses on federal holidays.

Further wrinkle - I am still in graduate school and DH works full time.  We have been using a small part of our savings just to have a nanny and would definitely have to dip about $300 into our savings a month to meet her requests.

I'd quit your job and go work for someone who appreciated me.
