[quote=Anonymous]I need to ask around because I just can't believe the things I see on care.com and I am not sure if these nannies are too entitled and got a lot of nerve or am i so out of touch.

I am a nanny myself and I live in Bowie and I am in need of care for my own child and I was hoping to find a nanny share or a stay at home mother to care for my child at their home and this is the only thing I see on care.com. Stay at home mom ads about them looking for a child to care from their home while they watch their own child and they charge between $15-$20 per hour--- Let me repeat and spell it out-- The SAHM are at the comfort of their home, they do not need to use their car, no gas either, no time to commute, the child will be dropped off at the comfort of her own home while she watches her own child and they are charging $15-$20/hour. Is this even realistic?

I get paid $18/hour but I don't take my child to work and have to pay for my child's care which is my responsibility of course, I use my own car (wear and tear), gas, I go to THEIR home and drive the kids to wherever they got to go. The parents go to work without having to worry about anything because I am coming to THEM.

Can someone please fill me in? because if that is the standard rate then I might as well quit my job and save all the hours I spent on commuting daily between going to work and dropping my child off at his sitter and picking up, save on gas ($100 weekly), plus saving on childcare, S!&H--- I will be at the comfort of my very own house caring for kids that are dropped off by their parents, and save all this money and still get paid what I get paid now.
