[quote=Anonymous]You can absolutely find a college-educated summer nanny for one child at $15 per hour, especially if you are looking for someone in her mid-twenties who has 0-2 years experience as a full-time nanny and is looking to go back to school or still trying to find her career path.  You can just as easily pay $20 per hour for one toddler, especially if the candidate you like has more than five years experience as a full-time nanny or is a certified teacher with extensive experience working with children.  What you want to look out for are the individuals who lack any real training or early childhood education credentials, have relatively modest experience, and are requesting $20 per hour simply because they want to earn $20 an hour.  This group usually has trouble holding jobs long term in part because they are always on the lookout for a higher-paying position and in part because they don't really perform on par with their compensation expectations, so parents move on fairly quickly.

There are nannies at both the $15 and $20 price points who will have college degrees and fluent English, be excellent with your child, and be willing to cook the child's meals and manage his or her toys and laundry, etc.  However, the more experienced and more expensive career nanny will likely know from day one how to manage her time and juggle everything you want done, whereas the newbie might need a little more guidance or training at the beginning.
