[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it be cool to ask a nanny's reference how much they paid her? Or is that a no-no?[/quote] Yes - this is what I did while interviewing nannies and their previous families. All references shared the numbers with no hesitation. There is nothing wrong with it. Most nannies we interviewed were ok with that, and have openly discussed pros and cons of scaling down, in some cases. A typical question from a nanny was: are you going to have a third baby in a year or two? (so the salary would be comparable with their previous jobs). So go ahead and ask, so you know the market, you know your own budget, and you know why nannies accept or refuse your offer. [/quote] No smart woman makes a lateral job change for a reduced compensation package. If you even mentioned such nonsense on the jobs and careers forum, you'd get laughed right off and you know it. Lol. [/quote]
