[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay $10 an hour for Marymount students.  $17 is insane - most nannies start at $10-$13.  [/quote]

I think your logic is flawed.  Most college students are better educated and smarter than most nannies, at least the severly under-educated nannies you find working in many homes in the area.  I definitely expect to pay a college student (from a good school like AU or Georgetown) than most "nannies" in the area.[/quote]

That's ridiculous.  Acing your SATs does not make you a better babysitter.  Most of these under-educated nannies have 10x the childcare experience compared to your typical AU or Georgetown student.  I know DCUM posters love to think their degree(s) make them a better caregiver, but get real.   [/quote]

:? Most of the nannies in my neighborhood can't even speak English properly. For babies, it's important to be experienced, but as children get older, they need more than someone who knows how to heat up a bottle. They need some INTERACTION. And that's what the majority of children with nannies simply don't get.
