Not with ten years of experience. Maybe if they pay under the table |

| I am having trouble finding new family but I am quoting $30 firmly, 15 yrs experience and a degree. not sure how much longer I can hold off though. People offer me $25-27 which is super ridiculous. |

Try an agency. I can’t afford to work for less than $35hr and that’s pushing it |

| It isn’t an exceptional rate - but it is still a good starting hourly rate for just ONE child, assuming no other household tasks are required (aside from picking up toys as well as washing any used dishes during shift.) |

Not trying to be snarky PP but I wouldn’t necessarily say $25-27 p/h is “super” ridiculous. |

| it is, for someone who made over $30 in last job and has my experience. $27 was good 4 yrs ago and I worked for $27 back then. Everything is like 20-40% up since then, |

Exactly!! And these parents know they wouldn’t work for that especially with a degree and cost of living right now . |

In the Nanny profession, sometimes you do not make more money just because your previous families paid you more in the past. This is unfortunate but being a Nanny isn’t like other jobs ->> meaning you do not get the same opportunities to grow within your company’s infrastructure. What a Nanny makes usually is based off of other factors such as the current market (supply + demand), etc. This is a downside of working as a Nanny. Even if a Nanny has over 15+ yrs of professional experience she may be forced to accept a position w/an entry-level starting salary if there are not many good jobs available. I wish this wasn’t so.
