[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you found a fool of a woman who took a job of taking care of 2 infants, 2 families for a price of one? Nothing to be proud of, PP, I would be ashamed to be so cheap. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but if you read the post closely, you'll notice that the PP 1) never mentioned infants; 2) said they were paying a nanny $26 to watch their TWO kids, one of whom is now in school. Now they are paying $14 an hour for one child in a two-child nanny care.

There's a bad pattern of someone coming on the childcare forum and referring to nannies as "fools" for taking less than like $50 an hour.[/quote]

Thank you! I'm the PP who just moved to a share. And you're correct. Bottom line: two kids, one family was $26. Two kids, two families is $28. So it's a [I]little[/I] more expensive per kid in the share, but not dramatically.

And yes, in our case, none of the kids are infants at this point.

And there are DEFINITELY nannies who come on DCUM expressly for the purpose of driving up nanny salaries in the area. Hats off, sounds smart to me, but I'm reporting actual money getting paid by me to actual, wonderful, professional nannies in DC. $1-4 extra for a share is the range I've seen in my almost four years of using nannies/shares (and knowing other families who do the same).
