Most of you are hiring people here illegally or at the very bottom of our social ladder when hiring nannies and you expect them to stay with you and your family because they love your kids? If someone offers them more money and/or better hours or a commut e? Where is your common decency not to understand that? Unbelievable.

there's a huge difference between my nanny answering an ad or looking for a new job and a friend/neighbor who comes to my nanny and says "what will it take for you to work for me".

my nanny is allowed to look for a new job. she's not indentured to me. that being said, i would not feel comfortable going to someone else's nanny and hiring them away from her. and i certainly wouldn't want a friend doing it to me. there aren't a limited number of good nannies. if i don't like who i have, i will look for someone else. but i wouldn't hire her away from someone who is happy with her.

Normally the offer is not made unless there is some indication nanny is looking for a change.
[ Reply | Options ]first of all, real poaching (which is what was being discussed before) is when the other mom approaches your nanny. secondly, if the nanny comes to a mom and says "i'm leaving my other job, can i work for you" i think it's more questionable. when it when it happened to me, i didn't hire her. if someone did, i don't think it's bad. but it's not going to work out very well most of the time.

You know, when people poach, it isn't just more $ they promise, and it's usually a dollar or 2 more. it's the empty promises they make to pull them away from another job.
[ Reply | Options ]i've actually found the career nannies to be more loyal than the college kids who are not at the bottom of the social ladder.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
