[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One week before Christmas so she can do her christmas shopping in time.[/quote]

This is ridiculous.

1. All my holiday shopping is completed before Labor Day.
2. If my nanny is relying on a bonus to buy gifts then she is not managing money well.
3. If she is waiting until the last minute to do Christmas shopping she is not managing time well.

The last two would cause me to re-think whether this is a person I want helping to raise my children. [/quote]

You must be out of touch with reality. Most nannies aren't high income earners. They are living paycheck to paycheck so often allocate their bonus toward holiday shopping. They make 1600-2500 a month after taxes, that's hard to survive on with bills and other expenses.[/quote]

I don't understand the nannies on this site.  When it's in their best interest to represent their average pay as low, nannies here talk about how the pay is "1600-2500" a month after taxes.  When it's in their best interest to represent their pay a high (like when someone is asking for a rate recommendation), all of the sudden they make $25/hr (about $3500 per month after taxes, 40 hours/week; at 50 hours, it would be $4500 take home, most full-time employers need more than 40/week). Does not compute.

I guess people say what they need to say to advance their agendas.  I guess I do understand the nannies on this site, after all. [/quote]
