[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are worth what people are willing to pay. If families are only willing to pay $10 an hour, then that is what you are worth. Day care does not make sense often with multiple kids. If a parent makes $22 an hour, minus taxes, insurance and all the extras, their take home pay could be $12-14 an hour, so $10 to them is reasonable.[/quote] Ha! If only it worked like that huh parents? That you could just name a number snap your fingers, and suddenly that's the market rate for whichever nanny you like? Get real. People are just beginning to see the realities of private in home care. It is expensive, and if you're making $22/hour is not a realistic choice for you, [b]especially[/b] if what you want is a highly experienced, highly recommended, bilingual, degreed nanny. If you insist that you need a nanny, for $10/hour you can have one of the broken English, or lazy/incompetent models. [/quote]
