[quote=Anonymous]This is silly. What mom would want to seem cheap or exploitive when she isn't? What mom would want to go around conveying the message that her nanny is such a bargain that others should try to hire her away? It doesn't happen. If anything, MBs have an incentive to inflate what they pay the nanny because they want to seem generous and financially successful and committed to the welfare of their kids. This is DC, after all. Not exactly a community where being a poor artist type suffering financially for the sake of ones craft is considered cool. But really, the only time parents discuss nanny rates is when they are in the hiring process or considering a raise and trying to figure out what is normal. They might ask a couple of trusted friends, but it's not like the inquiree has any incentive to brag about how cheap she is. Most often, the conversation evolves into how expensive childcare is.[/quote]
