This can't be right

Hi all.

So I have a 1 year old and have been browsing through the nanny and nannyemployer subs because I am ready to go back to work and leave my child in the capable hands of a nanny.

But boy oh boy. The posts have been a complete rabbit hole and frankly I am stunned at the expectations involved in employing a nanny. So based off of my reading of the subs:

  • competitive wage based on their identification of it being a luxury service (regardless of the nanny's educational qualifications or investment into bettering themselves professionally)
  • PTO (regardless of how much paid leave they have when NPs are on vacation)
  • Sick leave
  • GH
  • holidays off
  • healthcare stipend
  • mandatory annual col raise
  • bonuses
  • access to food in np's home
  • be allowed to go home early when NPs are back because it's 'awkward'
  • have gh and not have to come in to work when relatives are around because 'awkward'
  • restrictions on NPs movement in their own homes when they wfh because 'awkward'
  • gh when child is unwell and they are unwilling tom provide sick care even though it is a 'luxury' service

Is this about right? Because wow.
