Subject: Nanny eating me out of house and home- how do I broach this with her w/o being offensive?
Anonymous wrote:If the girl has no nanny experience, $11 an hour isn't a horrible wage. We all have to start somewhere. I think it is great that OP is willing to raise her salary, but if the girl has no experience, then it isn't a bad starting salary. Is OP finding boxes to all these things she is eating in the trash? If not, then the nanny is stealing the items.
I'm all for living wage, but a starting nanny salary should not be $15 an hour. Most preschools and daycares do not pay that much, why should an inexperienced girl be getting paid more to nanny?
I don't understand all the outrage- I get paid less than ten an hour at my restaurant job after taxes and this girl is likely being paid under the table. Why on earth would she be getting more than 11 an hour if she's an unskilled worker? My brother is a line cook who went to culinary school and he only makes 12 an hour.
