[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's obvious that a lot of nannies reply to any question about average pay even though this forum is supposed to be primary for parent-to-parent interaction. I need real, not inflated, feedback on standard pay & benefits. This forum makes it sound like you can't get a nanny for less than $15/hr but I have coworkers who found nannies they're very happy with for not much more than half that - so where can I speak to real employers? I have a lot of things to consider before deciding on an au pair or a nanny and it would be helpful to talk to real honest people about their experiences with employing a nanny. TIA![/quote]

I'm sorry but no one who pays their nanny "not much more than half" of $15/hr is a real employer. They might be happy but I can guarantee their nannies are not - what kind of person is okay with knowingly making another person survive on 20k a year? (And that's being generous with your "not much more than half".) You're not getting inflated prices from nannies - you're getting  proper salaries from employers who understand that nannies deserve to be paid a decent wage like any other hardworking human being. Sounds like you can't afford a nanny, or are too cheap to properly employ one. [/quote]
