It is nuts, but nannies just won't clean, they think that they are above that. |
Because you can’t support yourself (let alone a family) on $30 an hour in the DC area. Is that fair? |
Weird criticism. You think you’re above both cleaning AND watching your own kids, right? |
I’d do it for the right price, op. I’m guessing you’re not offering enough and/or are a pain to work for. |
Considering this should be an average of the type of work (nannying older children and housekeeping) yes. You can’t support yourself on minimum wage either, but that doesn’t stop companies from paying minimum wage. $30 dollars is the average of nannying and house cleaning in this area. There are people paid more and less than the average. If you don’t want to take the job, don’t. But know that your job prospects will be relegated to high net-worth families only and they still might try to pay less than average. Blame the market for the pay rates. |
I don’t, but I do think if the nanny has down time (kids are napping or in school) she can be asked to clean/do chores. If she’s not comfortable with that, you can look for someone who is. |
Yes - and let all MAGA all eat cake, I say. Can't wait for all the MAGA union types to get their wake up calls. |
Yes, and your cleaners want nothing to do with your children. Why is this so difficult to comprehend and then act accordingly? The mind boggles - so much money and not a lick of sense. |

What's your idea of pay and benefits for this? I think your honest answer here will allow us to help you... absent that, your post isn't getting you anywhere closer to an answer/solution. |
Are you kidding me? With guaranteed 40 hours, that’s over $60k |
|
Ok, do you want me to clean or watch your kids? Pick one. |
Both, if my kid is not around or sleeping, I’d prefer someone who can clean to help with my daily life. If you don’t want to do that, don’t. |
Good job identifying OP’s problem. Looks like she’ll have to clean her own toilets. |
