Outstanding employees earn outstanding wages. Every successful employer understands this concept. If you want excellence, you have to pay accordingly. Your nanny knows when you're paying her the minimum you think you can get away with. Why should she go 'above and beyond', when she knows you refuse to acknowledge her going the extra mile? She can play your game just as well as you do.

See how it works? You're getting over on her with your cheap wages, and she's getting over you with her constant laziness.

The problem is that neither of you seem to care about your child. The nanny will move on, and you'll eventually reap the consequences of neglecting to provide/employ proper care for your child. Bargain priced anything is never high quality. High quality ALWAYS costs more, regardless of how hard you may stamp your feet in rage in response to that fact.

Don't be ridiculous. If you pay your nanny an excellent wage, and then someone shows up and offers her an excellent wage x 3 times, she'll up and leave without very much thought of severed attachment, lifelong damage to the child and all that bollocks.

So true. Nannies here always talk about their payday first.

What else should abused nannies talk about? Your great parenting skills, of lack thereof?

By your illogical thinking, we shouldn't have minimum wage laws, because if you someone takes your dollar an hour job, it must be because that's all they're worth.
The level of entitlement here is astounding. People like you deserve nothing.

You're conflating two unrelated things. Job wages, and "what they are worth." No one knows what anyone is worth. Worth has no objective measure. You're worth what you think you are. What you are paid has nothing to do with what you're worth.

But if someone takes a dollar an hour job without coercion, then yes, I would think that they agreed to this particular valuation of whatever it is they are doing at that job.

I don't care if you think I deserve nothing. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. Smart people don't get personal.

My employer certainly knows my worth, and pays me accordingly. She says she can't have her career without me. You needn't agree.
