[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op please ignore these negative comments. Some people on this board are rude. As I stated, she's overpaid and will keep shaking you down for money run while you can. [/quote]

Completely agree with this.  OP, you've made an honest assessment of what you think constitutes fair pay for your nanny.  Most or all the nanny employers on here agree with that assessment:  $20 per hour for two kids in Rockville plus a third who will be in full-day grade school is already at the top of the market.  Tell the nanny that you'd love to keep her, but that $20 is all you can offer right now.  End of negotiation.  If $20 per hour doesn't work for your current nanny, there will be countless other good ones who jump at the chance to take over her job.

The obnoxious girls on here are desperate to convince you that if you love your kid, you will give up family vacations and hand over the college and retirement savings to your nanny, to prove that you aren't "cheap" when it comes to your "most precious possessions" and to avoid damaging your children in some profound way.  In reality, they know that $20 per hour nanny jobs with benefits are not easy to come by, and they are far less likely to move on over a $1.25 rate disagreement than they want you to believe.  There just aren't many other opportunities out there that will pay $21.50 per hour for nanny services, and there is no shortage of good nannies vying to fill those slots.
