[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$4500/mo for FT nanny for one infant. Plus taxes and payroll fees quarterly. It is insane. Daycares in inner burbs and DC seem to be about half that cost. [/quote]

Although with a nanny it’s her salary, right?  At least you’re paying a fair wage.  Not all the nanny quotes on here are.[/quote]

Oh GTFO. Nannies on here are doing just fine. Most Make anywhere from 18-30 an hour with no required background, education or training. Some hardly can speak English. Many are paid under the table, which saves them a boatload of money. Many of these women would not make the same amount working in a daycare or home day care as a teacher and those employers pay people on the books, they would have to care for far more children, could not be constantly on their phones, often have to have a CDA or be working toward one, would not get a 2-3 hour break each day while the kids nap, have to have basic certifications and do training and professional development, and probably make like 16/hr taxed. Day care teachers have it much harder than Nannie’s making 40-50K/year for a relatively easy job.  [/quote]
