[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely think there's a lot you can do to keep your nanny OP! I used to work for really wealthy families and got paid $5 more/hour than I do now. But I'd much rather work for the well off families that pay me well ($20/ hour) and treat me like gold. To me loving my job is more important than making more money. My MB tells me thank you every day, asks how my weekend went and asks for my imput often. She randomly buys me flowers, for under $20, makes sure to have my favorite foods and snacks in the house and makes me feel valued. She even called the hotel my husband and I were staying for our anniversary and asked them to deliver us a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate. My hours are caotic, I'm constantly asked for flexibility but I'm also given flexibility and pretty much free reign with the kids. I'm sure there are lots of nannies who would rather be paid well and treated kindly than get paid a ton and treated like the help.[/quote]

Your post makes me sad.  I am paid well but my MB has never once said thank you for anything and most mornings doesn't even say hello. Aside from handing me a piece of cake at my charge's birthday party, she has never so much as offered me a glass of water.  DB is much more polite and her father is actually lovely.  But she is a contrary, self-involved woman.

I know there are very happy with me (her father told me) and they met every one of my requests at my annual review with no negative feedback at all.

But I love my charge and love seeing how the work I have been doing with him since he's been born all start to come together now that he is two-years-old.  I am devoted to him and do love my job.  I just wish I would have gotten a human MB.  She wears on me at times.  Today was one of those days...    [/quote]

I am sorry, PP - that really sucks.  Some people simply have no clue how to manage people or even be civil.  [/quote]
