[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spin-off from thread about newborn care rates being $20-30/hr. I just want to congratulate high-income earning nannies ($25+/hr.) It's good practice to know how to perform your work, and charge accordingly. Kudos to each and every one of them.[/quote]

What training/education would a nanny need to expect these rates?  Would she need to be an RN?  [/quote]

That would be unnecessary for a healthy child. It's really just people with a lot of experience in a specific area that appeals to a wealthy family. Because obviously your typical family isn't paying $35/hr. Also for $35/hr you usually expect an a local, steady, probably American or maybe European who speaks fluent English without a strong accent, and has a degree.

Your paying $35/hr because these people could quit and get any number of other jobs that pay the equivalent of around $35 an hour. The people paying their nannies $12 an hour likely aren't worried about them leaving for a better job (only being poached by another family offer $0.50/hr more.)[/quote]

Thanks.  I have a college degree from a very good university but not in education although I have worked in private elementary schools as a teacher.  I have years of experience (on and off) with newborns and am very knowledgeable in childhood development - and I'm also a great nanny!  I only make 18 an hour in one of the wealthiest suburbs in America!  I am definitely underpaid.  [/quote]
