Employers like this should be up front and say "Looking for desperate illegal immigrant who will work for peanuts." They will get responses, yes. And they will also not waste the time of professional nannies.

Amazing how much money some people will pay for a car but not for the care of their precious children.

Omg, I agree with you 100%... OP said they lived in an experience area of MD, but then they want cheap childcare... 55 hours =50,000.

*expensive

NP. No, she said "expansive."

Clearly you didn't read. OP said she informed them that her start rate was $25. So if they couldn't pay the start rate they should have just say so. 50K is NOT good for 55 hours. DO YOUR MATH, WE ALREADY KNOW YOU CAN'T READ.

Yes, it is. How many other jobs are going to pay her that much?

Are you ok? There are parents that would pay $22 for one child. This nanny share wants to pay less than $18 for two children, with no overtime, No one with 10 plus years will take that. They should just pay cash.

No, it’s not. Stop trying to compare jobs. Just bc you had to take that low wage doesn’t mean others will settle.

Yes agree, OP shouldn't have to work with no overtime.

Look parents, just be honest about what you are able or willing to pay a nanny and be aware of your state labor laws. Don’t contact a nanny that you know you can’t afford. This is not difficult.

"watching children"?

Yep, that is what you will get for $18 an hour. We will sit on the couch and watch TV.

Not a professional nanny, you must be thinking about a babysitter.

Exactly. A professional nanny would not be doing tv at all.

Exactly my point! A babysitter "watches children" (was the way a PP described the job) for $18 -- which basically means watching tv . A nanny on the other hand will (help) raise your children, for a minimum of $25.

Which can you afford, employers? Be honest *with yourselves.*
