[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird set up but maybe it works for them. I agree you don't need to pay her more if the older child is never there. But you should also consider she may not currently be interested in being a FT newborn nanny. [b]It's basically starting over in a new job and she may not want to do it at that rate, or at all. [/b][/quote]
I am not sure what you mean.  She was OK taking care of a newborn full-time three years ago, at a lower rate.  Why should she not be OK with it now, at a higher rate?  What has changed so much that she doesn't want to do it "at that rate"?[/quote]

It's hard for a nanny to lose care of a child she loves.  To be told that she will never care for the older child, but will see that child every day in the morning for the next 2-4 years?  I would have quit, it would be less problematic for me, especially after you showed exactly how little respect and feeling you have.[/quote]
All nannies job end. That is the nature of nannying.  The nanny has been told ahead of time about his preschool plans, and she can stay with the family if she likes, thus staying in touch with her first, about to become former, charge. I'm not sure I understand your concept of respect - is the family supposed to keep nannies forever because it's "disrespectful" for the child to move on?[/quote]
Forget about the nanny for a minute. What kind of parent does that to their own child?[/quote]
