OP here. My employers definitely want to keep me and are extremely generous. They offered to pay for everything including my first/last and deposit on my new apartment which I think is too much and I have declined. Moving expenses seems fair however as well as a few paid days off (they offered a week - which I will not need).

Very nice of them. You must be an awesome nanny. Lucky for their children.

OP here. I am happily moving to the beach from the valley (if you know anything about Los Angeles). I think it is worth the "sacrifice".


Yeah, I think you will be okay, OP!

Seriously - congratulations - that is a great move!

For a local move I would consider the gold standard to be: packing supplies or packers, movers, some days off, and a few days food allowance/some cash towards those misc moving expenses


This. Really nice of you to move with them, OP.

All moving expenses, OP, which are substantial. Including time off for the packing and moving. Ask them to throw in a packer for the kitchen and closet.

I agree.
Your employers would get the same at their jobs.

Of course they should be financially assisting you during your move. What do you want them to pay? It's common for employers to cover moving costs. Tell them. They should have offered to help you.

I am a nanny and the family I work for is moving across town. The commute would be 1.5 hours for me each way with the traffic in our city. I have agreed to move to be closer to their new house.

What, if any, assistance should my employers be offering me?

TIA
