I agree. Don't let anyone here talk you down - you sound like the type of nanny who can command this level of compensation.[/quote]

I should follow this up with, "but if you're finding that you aren't getting offers in this range, you'll know you'll have to charge less" just so all the crazy people here know that I understand how "the market" works. Also because it's true, but I assume that goes without saying everywhere but DCUM.[/quote]

I agree. In a perfect world I would be able to command $18-25/hr for nanny but that wage is comparable to entry level positions in my field. I am incredibly passionate about childcare but I don't see child protection and nannying on the same level of accountability, education, or scope of practice. I don't want to downplay the nanny profession because I understand the importance of a qualified and competent caregiver. However, I am interested what kind of [b]realistic[/b] wage expectation I should negotiate for a nanny position.[/quote]
