Nannies are free agents, not your personal property. OP. approach her as suggested by telling her how much you admire her way with charge. Give her $5.00 an hour more than she is presently paid and she will ptobably take the job.

Excellent advice.



I am truly a fantastic nanny (it is the only thing in my life I have ever been great at). I have been approached by other parents a few times with promised of 25% salary increase and shorter hours. But part of being a fantastic nanny is my devotion to me current charge. I wouldn't leave him for double the salary right now.

We assume your current employers compensate you accordingly, yes?

Obviously, PP, she is happy with her compensation.

Kinda like being the "other woman" in a marriage.

Like you know the status quo, yet you still upset it because you want what you want.

ok, repeat that next time your husband comes in and tells you that he go an amazing job offer from another employer with a great salary hike. or tell that to yourself next time somebody offers you a job with better benfits and salary. when you (or your H) keep the the lower paying job, than come back here and we can talk

Most would not skip an opportunity with better pay and benefits.

I'm really sick of nanny families thinking they own their nannies. They feel so betrayed that a nanny will want something greater for themselves. It's disgusting and pathetic. Nannies are free to make the beg decision for their future. That includes leaving for better paying jobs.
