[quote=Anonymous][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]

You can be in a position for 10 years and still have charges under the age of 3. Families sometimes have more children after hiring a nanny for the first child.

High net worth employers want to see longevity for potential house managers. They also want someone with experience in different types of situations, and if they’re willing to roll up their sleeves and do what needs to be done. [/quote]
