[quote=Anonymous]Another MB here.  I don't want to inflame passions but I really think this board needs a reality check.  When we were hiring nanny for our nanny share in DC and were offering a rate of $18 in downtown DC (which is more or less the average in DC, Arlington is lower) we had gobs of applicants, and of these, a handful of them were excellent.  Point being - there are so many people out there looking for jobs and a small subset of these people are real gems.  I don't think my experience as a MB is particularly unique.  There will always be a segment of the childcare market that wants the multiple languages, super certified class of nannies - and will pay the high rates that some nannies tout on this board.  But many of us MBs are very pleased with the care that our children are getting at the average "market rate"...  $16 is not shabby, and there will be plenty of individuals - some of whom will likely be great - who will apply for the job. There is no reason to mock a MB for offering this. If it's not for you, just move on![/quote]
