[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies in my neighborhood make $25/hour (when you factor in the employers paying their taxes, etc)....that's more than the starting salary for most teachers. Most teachers have advanced degrees (beyond college), whereas most nannies do not (many do not even speak English). I say free market, supply/demand, blah blah blah, so it's fine with me since the employers who hire nannies aren't being compelled by law to do so. [/quote] If you are paying the equivalent of $50K annually for a nanny, you are grossly overpaying for the services of a nanny. But that is no surprise because the compensation paid by DCUM members for various services is ridiculous. I pay my nanny $15 an hour and she takes care of two children and I live in one of the affluent areas in Northern Virginia. She is wonderful and she is very happy with what she is paid and has been with us for over 6 years. She is also legally in the country.[/quote]
