[quote=Anonymous]On another thread "Bonus Poll Time" - one poster said she earned $12 an hr as a 24 Hour nanny in NY.

Another poster asked,
"MB here. I'm curious--for the '24 hour' nanny--really, do the parent(s) not spend any time with the kids? Are you there all night? is this fora special needs child who needs full time attention all the time? is this for single (wealthy) parents who work all the time I don't understand. I'm not trying to be snarky, just trying to understand who hires a 24 hour nanny...and wonder what the kid's relationship with parent(s) is like"

That's my question too. Are there many 24 hour nannies out there? Other posters said as 24hr nannies, that they made around the $12 an hour. But they ALL said they worked for  wealthy, billionaires, or high profile people in NY or LA. What do they get for giving up their lives, when compensation is so low? Do these wealthy people hire inexperienced, uneducated nannies? I would think these people would pay top $$$ for someone great to raise their kids for them?

Another poster said,
"I'm a 24hr nanny for NY billionaires. I'm on duty 24/6. I'm with children the while time, basically a proxy parent responsible for everything related to the child. Huge responsibility. Parents don't have "real" jobs- just go to business "meetings" sometimes at family's office. They see their kids on average 15 minutes a day. They go out to socialize almost every night. They never tell me when, where, and when they will be back. Of course they have a Sunday nanny. But I have to say, they are great employers and great parents- they love their children, and pay someone excellent to look after their children. Because this is an anonymous site. I earn $625 a day and think I should get more, but happy all the same.

How can they be good parents when they only see their kids 15 mins a day?
