Seriously? Do you not know what the nannies who work for the high up agencies make a year? I have two interviews lined up in the next 2 weeks in NYC and both are paying $60,000/year and $75,000/year. Nannies now a days don't make minimum wage...

Go the the Nanny Forums. Totally different forum than this one. Look at the very top of the page, and you'll see it.

Experience with children and find a job as one

Attend a nanny school such as northwest nannies institute or the Alexandria school.

I started babysitting when I was 11 or 12. In high school, I was a summer nanny. I also did this during the summer in college. I worked as a FT nanny for a few yrs in between college and grad school as well as after grad school before I found a teaching job. If you have the money, there is a governess school somewhere in the Midwest. After a year there, you can find very high end nanny/governess jobs through them. My friend did this and she makes BIG bucks now as a nanny. She travels all over the world with the family.

Not necessarily. Most nannies start off as a babysitter and work their way up.
