[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she knows what you earn; she has no idea what your other expenses are.  But now she's going to be resentful no matter what, which can lead to all sorts of bad behaviors whether she continues in your employ or not, such as venting to her friends about how "rich" you are.  I would not be comfortable with someone like that having a key to my house.  I understand you are conflicted but please be careful with your family and your home.

We do make a very attractive yearly income, however we pay mortgage, have 2 car payments, loans from college, health insurance for us 4 and my mother and father, plus we like to save money for our children’s college funds. She thinks we have a lot of left over money and we don’t [/quote]

OP, your situation sounds similar to ours with respect to your salary, expenses, and nanny hourly pay.  We have had our nanny for five years and while she has never asked for a larger raise, she has continued to act more cavalier about our finances as time goes on.  We got her a credit card so she could pay for stuff for our children while out and also pay for her gas.  Once she was out with my MIL who said she wanted to pay for lunch and our nanny said "don't worry, I have their credit card and they can afford it."  I could go on and on about the ways I feel like she has acted like we're rolling in dough with no consideration whatsoever for what we pay her, the cost of nanny taxes, all of her benefits (there are many, totaling over an additional $500/month), and the freedom that we grant her to do what she wants with our kids by paying for outings and meals.  We are moving across the country this summer but if we were staying her I'd be done with her.  I say this to point out to you how this could turn into something more even if your nanny does agree to your generous offer.  [/quote]
