[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^oh and if you must, live in, separate apartment, car, health insurance, 3 weeks PTO, vacations with the family expenses paid, and $600 on the books weekly rate for 40hrs (much less hours when kids are in school).

ZERO problems with retention.

Carry on fooling you self that your kids are better off with a revolving door of unhappy nannies who probably despise walking in your door each morning.[/quote]

Um... I thought you said something about high comp rate... That is not that high. WTF are you talking about??

I have live out. I have paid anywhere from 16 to 22 per hour, similar benefits.

My 22 hr nanny left me too. She was in her 50's with a high schooler. She said she wanted to go to school full time for a second career when her son went to college.

So you explain why my 22 /hr nanny  left me when I am doing everything you said since you have all the answers.[/quote]

Did your nanny have a separate fully furnished apartment that was 1,000sq feet, with complete privacy detached from thr house? Did you give your nanny a car for work and personal  use? Did her health insurance have no deductible? Are your kids school aged and during the scool year did you continue to pay her at 40hrs? If my nanny wanted to go back to school she wouldn't even have to quit.

Despite all the benefits we offer, if we did not create a positive working environment based on respect we too could not retain her. I could offer the world, but people need to feel valued and respected, there is your answer, dear.[/quote]

This poster has too much angst to be a happy MB pleased with her long term nanny. I think it is a nanny writing her dream job.[/quote]

Nope. Just an employer who is amused by people who are befuddled as to why they can't keep a nanny more than 2years.

Being a nanny would be my nightmare job.[/quote]
