I'm a nanny. I would not work full time with 2 kids for that amount. That is not a livable wage, nor is it decent pay for the work required. I do admire that the writer provided reimbursement for health insurance, however. That's hard to find in a nanny position. Why do parents think their nanny doesn't need health insurance?

$600/week for TWINS? I'm in the Midwest and that is low.

It was published less than 2 years ago. And in one of the top ten most expensive cities in the US, I don't think $600 a week has been a respectable wage in a very long time.

This Mother/Writer has too many personal issues to even deal w/a Nanny.
Talk about very immature, insecure as well as mental too.
No one can blame that poor girl for leaving that family for good!

While I admire the honesty in this article, I am dumbfounded that the mom thought she was actually paying her nanny well. Employers, do you take your areas COL into account when deciding if you can actually afford a nanny? Nannies, how do you handle potential employers who offer poverty wages?
I think she sounds like a narcissist.
She sounds like many, many parents I have worked with. If you, as a parent, see yourself in this: if you work WITH your nanny, she can and ahould help you to maximize the time you spend with your kids and build your connection with them. If you instead view her as the competition, not only will she likely quit, she also won’t and can’t facilitate your relationship with your kids as much as she otherwise could. If you feel disconnected from your kids, as nanny to help you with that!
I don’t see myself in her at all. Bizarre.

The nanny is not an indentured servant. She chose to accept a job at a certain salary. If it wasn't acceptable to her she could have negotiated for more or declined the job offer. That nanny did not quit because of the salary - she quit because of the way the mom behaved.
+1, that is a reasonable salary for child care.

Well now the mother/writer has "daycare kids". Hope she is happy. What a selfish, self-centered woman!
