[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I will be replacing my full time nanny with a full time housekeeper/sitter when the kids are in school. I do need coverage, but I don't have 20K sitting around to hand someone to be on call.[/quote]

I think that's legitimate. Most nannies, if offered, will move into a Household Manager's role. Most Household Managers, in addition to childcare, housekeep, run errands, prepare meals, etc. It can be much more cost efficient, especially if you have a nanny you really like. It's a great way to give your nanny a promotion. [/quote]
A promotion to housekeeping? How much did you increase her compensation? A whole dollar an hour? Wait! TWO dollars an hour? Well, I hearby nominate you for our "Nanny Employer of the Month" award. Congratulations!

You're an excellent example of how deluded some parents are.[/quote]

I’m not the PP, but house managers can make $20K-$50K more per year. Having that experience on my resume, plus my 10 years at one position will help me land a better-paying job after this family outgrows me.

Why are some of you so short-sighted? Do you give any consideration to career building, or care about job security? [/quote]
Most ftp want recent infant experience,  or a nanny who stayed until kindergarten.  They don't care about elementary experience,  it's too far down the road for them. [/quote]
