[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t think that op understands how much nanny rates have increased since the pandemic. Private childcare is a luxury. I live in LA, and prior to covid, you could maybe get someone undocumented for $20-25/hr. Now that’s $25-30 for just childcare. Me? I have a degree and 20 years experience. Prior to covid, I charged $30-35/hr. Now I charge $40-45, and won’t even do date night sitting while the kids are asleep, for under $35. Times have changed, op. You got lucky once with your low rate, but I don’t think that will happen again.[/quote]

OP isn't offering just $20 an hour -- she is offering $20 an hour plus free housing and utilities.

But still, OP, I'd think most folks would rather make $30-35 an hour, 40 hours a week, and pay for their own (more private and not a a basement) housing than your offer, particularly because it will be hard to fill the mornings with as lucrative a position (hardly anyone wants a just-mornings nanny).

It's not free housing and utilities.  It's for OP convince.  Nanny still has to pay her own insurance, food, car/insurance, cell phone and other basics for $20x15-20 hours a week at the worst schedule ever to get a second job.  Its living in a basement apartment with OP and her family above, which probably isn't soundproof.[/quote]
