Then pay the nanny only $18 or $20. If parent is asking for a lot and want you to have 10+ years of experience. Then be ready to pay. And to all the parents that's doing nanny share and they are only paying their nanny $18-$20 should be ashamed of themselves. Your nanny will not stay long with you. She will find another job and leave you hanging.

Why on earth should a nanny share at that rate be ashamed? Nanny shares are often less work - yes, multiple kids, but no housework, no food prep, no pick-ups and drop-offs. Nanny share jobs are easier than a family nanny!!!

Exactly how many shares have you worked? Zero.

Nanny share are like taking care of twins. You are always on your feet. I have done three nanny share and i don't take no less than $24. So yes you should be ashamed.

If it's not that much, stay home and take care of your own children.

And you just KNOW everything you read online just has to be true.

Right??

Hmm, well there's now way for me to prove to you what we pay our nanny, but she does make over $25/hour. I don't know why you people find this so hard to believe.

Agreed. I think most parents in this area paying less than $25. are getting more of a sitter, and less of a nanny. They simply don't understand the difference.

WH has never been known for representing the best high-end nannies. That would be too much work for them. They'd have to make the effort and take the time to educate parents (who can afford it) about the difference between a mediocre nanny and an amazing nanny. You almost need a degree in childhood development. WH is all about making matches as fast as possible and wishing you good luck.

Are you a nanny? Bc nanny shares are extremely hard work...Double the feedings, diaper changes, throw up, crying, teething, etc. As a nanny who has done shares and individual care they are both hardwork but a nanny share was much harder. There honestly wasn’t time in my schedule to do housework other then cleaning up after my charges. My families realized that and made it a point to say no housework. There will always be ppl who believe $9-10 per family is a good amount to pay in a nanny share in order to justify their decision.

As I stated previously, yes, I am a nanny and I have done both shares and family jobs. My share situations were much better than my private nanny situations in terms of income to work load. Maybe that's just me - but that's the problem with these boards, they make harsh generalizations and try to make both parents and nanny's feel bad about themselves and their rates. Regardless, don't try to make others feel bad about their situations, if you don't like a rate, don't accept it, but don't make those that do feel bad about their situations.

And I quote...”Why on earth should a nanny share at that rate be ashamed? Nanny shares are often less work - yes, multiple kids, but no housework, no food prep, no pick-ups and drop-offs. Nanny share jobs are easier than a family nanny!!!” Are you the person that made this harsh generalization? If you feel bad about your rate it’s bc you know you deserve more. If a family feels bad about their rate it’s bc they know they should be paying more but don’t want to have to give something else up.

I'm not the PP, but I have been a nanny for both shares and families and I much prefer the share. The share I am with now the two kids sleep 4 of the 8 hours I am with them and I have no housekeeping responsibilities during this time. In family jobs I was always doing laundry, cooking, vacuuming during naps, but now I can just relax! Nanny Share life for me!

This is obviously a nanny. An MB would never be so passionate about making people believe she pays above market. Why in the world would she be so frustrated?
