Looking for advice on nanny rates and what is not enough/too much in these crazy times! TIA On a side note- we are aware that she has many personal reasons for wanting more money (because she has sometimes shared too many details with us) but also do not feel like it is our responsibility to “cover the gap” in her expenses.

When it became evident that she would have to take on the care of our other child (4yo)when COVID shut down their school, we asked her if she would be expecting a higher rate per hour for two children. She has been wonderful and we all love her.
