[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, its usually easier to be with 2 siblings than just one, they can play together. OP if I was in your shoes I wouldn't give a raise.[/quote]
It will be QUITE a while before the baby is able to play with a now-four year old...Newborn nannying is the easiest gig of all.[/quote]
I get higher rates for newborn care for good reason.[/quote]
They are higher because parents are intimidated by their fragility.  But the truth is that healthy newborns are the easiest charges ever. [/quote]
The pediatrician who hired me would disagree with you.[/quote]

That depends on the baby, and the nanny.

Presumably this nanny has been in a routine of taking the kid places, interacting, etc. She have been willing to take on a NB as well as that's part of the job, but in this case it is almost like her job ended and she is being rehired for a new one - without being able to negotiate. Maybe now that she has had experience she wouldn't have taken on a NB at that rate.  Maybe she has decided NBs aren't her thing at all. Who knows? It sounds like nanny is not happy and it may well be unjustified but even so I would look elsewhere. She doesn't want the job you're offering and it doesn't really matter why. [/quote]
