NP here. I earn 26/hr for just one regular two year old. Parents are financially comfortable and I've been doing this forever.

where do you work

26 dollars an hour for one child? How many hours a day do you work and what all do you do? Sorry, but that is not the typical salary.

You are absolutely right. My salary is not typical for the DC area, nor am I your typical nanny. Thank you very much. Before me they had an RN. Not needed, but just because. Why not?
Some parents want only the best and can afford it. For your average 15-18/hr wage, you get an average nanny that you need to micromanage. What do you expect?

Actually, it's perfectly possible to hire experienced, competent, fantastic nannies for $15-18 hour. You may be terrific but hourly rates are not accurate predictors of excellence, attitude, rapport with kids, or fit. I don't assume you're better because you're more expensive. I don't assume a $15/hr nanny is less competent because she's more affordable.

I do assume that you're a tremendous snob.

I assume that 14:43 is a royal cheapskate. Does her boss get her for cheap to?

15-18 is not a horrible rate. You really are a snob.

We get it. You think you are something special, and, if you are being truthful, your employers think the same. Good for you. Looks like this thread, and the others on which you post, have nothing to do with you. You clearly have nothing to offer so your experience means nothing. Perhaps less than nothing, since no one here believes you.

NP on this thread, but I had to answer your question PP.

None of us believe that a nanny who makes $26/hr for any number of children, let alone one, would say the things you say in the way you say them.

Your grips can't be addressed unless you'd like to get specific. Personally, I have no interest in engaging in a popularity contest. I am, however, happy to participate in worthwhile discussion.

You resort to name calling when you do not know what your grip is. Not a very productive way to market yourself, but good luck to you anyways.

I think you must mean gripe. I chalked it up to a typo the first time but I think you actually just don't know the word. Also, I'm not a nanny, I'm an employer. I know from experience that hourly rate doesn't correlate with excellence. Command of the english language does, in my book, though so good luck to you also.
