Nannies who have wealthy employers, you are not wealthy...the family you work for is wealthy

[Anonymous]

You make $22 an hour.

You drive a Honda to work, but drive the kids around in a BMW. It's not your BMW.

You go on trips to Paris and the Bahamas, they aren't your trips.

Your employers have a home in the Hamptons, you won't when you are no longer employed by them.

Your point is?

You're right.

(except I drive a mustang not a honda)

You sound bitter and jealous. If you're
not happy with your life, do something
about it.

Wake up and smell the coffee?

Your assumption that nannies can't be wealthy is also patently false. I live the exact same lifestyle as my employers, except I spend my days chasing their lovely children at the park and making them laugh, and they only get to hear about it at the end of the day. My life is rich in many ways. I hope that you find peace OP.

My mb drives a volvo and db a lexus, if that helps you op

Funny enough I agree with you in theory but I have all those things hehe. I drive a luxury car, the family takes me on trips, and I am paid very well but I also have travel benefits from a previous endeavor and travel often for free. So combined I live a pretty good life in the heart of DC!

OP is a bitter mb, not a nanny.

I would LOVE to work for wealthy employers! I hate feeling guilty every time I buy organic broccoli or avocados for my charge or guilty asking for a raise.

I will seriously give the wealth of my employers more weight in my next job.

I'm a live in nanny I don't make a lot of money but I live in a beautiful home. I drive a Honda pilot with the kids and on weekends a range rover. I go on awesome vacations and in the past have been able to bring a friend with me. I save almost all my money and by the time I'm 35 in a few short years I will be a millionaire as long as I stay employed making my current amount which is rather low for nannies. I also have a very modset home which I bought years ago in my hometown that I recently paid off.

+1 I end up spending too much of my own money buying things for my charge that I feel he needs and parent's can't afford. I am definitely going to look for a super rich family next time.

Only the super rich can really afford a professional nanny. They already have a staff to clean the house.

Not true. I work for an Ivy League couple with the father still in graduate school getting his doctorate. They live and employ me on the mother's salary only. They know enough about the early years of life to have wanted and hired a nanny with a college degree and years of experience as a preschool teacher. I do only child related chores (his laundry and clean up after his meals). MB told me that if she accidentally leaves a coffee cup in the sink that she expects it to be there when she gets home.

How refreshing to hear this.
Anyone else?
