[quote=Anonymous]I need to hear from other parents who used care.com to search for a childcare provider for your children.

What were your experience like? What did you think about the candidates? Did you find them profressional? Did you find them realistic with their requests? What about their salaries requirements?

I posted yesterday abiut this very same issue om the nanny general topics but I also need to hear from parents as both opinion matter a lot to me.

I have had my experience with the website as a nanny looking for a job, but now I am on the other side of the fence and I am appalled.
I am a professional nanny, with over 10 years of professional experience working as a nanny, NOT caring for my little cousin when I was younger. I am an educated nanny who has worked long term for countless families and I have always worked in an expensive area, and I get paid $18 an hour as a PT nanny for two school aged children, I drive them to all their appointments, playdates, activities, I do their laundry, run errands, cook the kids dinner, with all duties a nanny has, in all I am there to cater to them.

Now, here is my situation, I posted an ad on care.com looking for a SAHM who has young children and was looking for another child to care for as an extra income since they stay home with their own kids, and that I would drop off my child at the caregiver's home. ALL the responses I got and keep getting of mothers who doesn't work and would take another child to care for as an extra income while watching their kids amd every single one of them are charging above $15 per hour, and the lowest rate was $13 per hour. Keep in mind I will be dropping my child off at their home and she will watch my child at her home while she is with her own child. Is this even realistic? Or am I so out of touch? Please i need to hear from others who needs childcare and have experience with going through the process of hiring a nanny.

I live in PG county and theses candidates do as well.

Please share with me your experience with care.com because I have also came across a lot of young girls who are not professional at all, has no professional experience as a nanny, wants me to drop my child off at their house and they are also asking above $15 per hour. I am appalled.[/quote]
