[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP, I don't know where you nannies got the idea you can negotiate with the family hiring you. They make an offer and you accept it if you want the job. If you want to negotiate then go to college and get an office job.[/quote]

You're a fool. I'm a college educated nanny making more than many of my college educated friends with "office jobs," and you're damn right I negotiate every nanny job I take. If I didn't, I wouldn't have 2 weeks of vacation at my choosing, all federal holidays paid, sick time, or employer provided health insurance. Not many families go into this wanting to throw money and benefits at candidates. You only get what you have the cajones to ask for. [/quote]

This stuff gets parroted again and again and we all know it's bull. Just once I'd love to see someone post a picture of one of these mystical contracts (with names redacted of course.) No nanny gets these pay and benefits in DC. [/quote]

Why is it so hard for you to believe? What possible motivation would I have for lying about my benefits on an anonymous forum? I could easily post my contract here, and you'd claim it was fake. There is nothing spectacular about my benefits. I'm a share nanny in DC, working for fed families, and I negotiated the vacation to be at my own choosing because I'm not interested in "sharing" my limited vacation time. [/quote]
This nanny isn't the only professional nanny out there. They're lots of us in similar circumstances, and doing very well.[/quote]
