[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you also feel the same concern for the cashier at walmart who rings up your items, for the janitors who clean your kids school, etc???  I mean there will always be people that make low wages so I'm not understanding why people are going on and on about nanny wages.[/quote]
Do you really think the walmart managers screamed 
for equal rights for themselves?
No, that was your kind who did that.

Now you need to put your money where your (big) mouth is, 
and treat your nanny accordingly.

Otherwise, feminism is in fact only for
RICH white women, rather than ALL women.

Meaning what, other than treat them with respect and pay them the market wage, legally?[/quote]
Sitters/nannies earn anywhere from minimum wage up to $25-30 per hour, or even higher. There is no "market wage" for nannies. And most domestic workers are still getting paid off the books, even in the DC area, unfortunately. For that reason alone, it's impossible to determine a true market wage, when few would be willing to share their paystubs or tax records to show what they pay/earn.[/quote]
