"Outstanding employees earn outstanding wages"

For what it's worth, I spend a lot less time texting when I'm sitting for a family that pays me better.

Incredible how often it works out that way, for office workers and domestic workers alike.
Compare the texting habits of the poorly paid assistant vs. the top paid manager. Let's guess who's getting less work done.

I should probably clarify that I'm not a nanny; I do just night/weekend (and occasionally backup weekday) sitting. But the family I sat for last week, they pay me on the high end and I just found myself being more interactive with those kids than I tend to be with the kid whose family pays me significantly less...

How odd to bump a year old thread and have nothing new to offer?

Pathetic.

Hopefully, the nanny circle jerk is finally exhausting itself.

Your nanny knows when you're paying her the minimum you think you can get away with. Why should she go 'above and beyond', when she knows you refuse to acknowledge her going the extra mile? She can play your game just as well as you do.

See how it works? You're getting over on her with your cheap wages, and she's getting over you with her constant laziness.

The problem is that neither of you seem to care about your child. The nanny will move on, and you'll eventually reap the consequences of neglecting to provide/employ proper care for your child. Bargain priced anything is never high quality. High quality ALWAYS costs more, regardless of how hard you may stamp your feet in rage in response to that fact.

This is bullshit on so many different levels. I'm a healthcare provider, I'm paid a salary to provide excellent care to everyone. I want more money and feel I deserve it, however, I do not provide piss poor care to others because I believe I am owed or entitled to more. People take pride in the work they do and want to do a good job in everything they do, that's how some are built. This sense of entitlement is just absurd, you EARN your accolades and those that notice will reward you accordingly. It may not be what YOU think you deserve or are entitled to, but it's not all about money it's taking pride in what you do and having a sense of accomplishment about the work that you do and helping others. FFS grow up.

There is no circle jerk going on. It is one crazy poster. She dredges up old threads, creates new ones, and sock puppets them into an argument. Please do not paint us all with the same brush.

For many struggling poor domestic workers, it IS actually about the MONEY. The employers who pay them the highest wages for their hard work, are the ones who reap the benefits. Welcome to THEIR world.

The nanny who agrees to wages she considers substandard, and proceeds to do substandard work, justifying it in her mind by substandard pay, is not outstanding.

Outstanding nannies, one would think, take their time to find families who pay their desired wages.

Struggling domestic workers have a choice as do we all to go to school and learn a higher paying trade. It is what it is.

Most of us know that not all outstanding nannies are compensated according to their worth. They may accept a job until they get what they want. It's done in every profession in every field.

If you want to reduce your risk, you pay as well as you're able.

There is no objective rating of nannies, let alone outstanding nannies. No one puts a gun to a nanny's head to accept a job offer with a rate she doesn't like. There are no victims here. If someone accepts a job, they implicitly agree that they are worth "that much". Why take a job otherwise?

You can just as easily say that families may hire a nanny to tide them over until they find the one they REALLY like. Again, in the world of voluntary employment, there are no victims.

By your illogical thinking, we shouldn't have minimum wage laws, because if you someone takes your dollar an hour job, it must be because that's all they're worth.
The level of entitlement here is astounding. People like you deserve nothing.
