[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have older friends that have wonderful women who have been a part of their household for 10+ years -- first as nannies for their children, then as more of a driver/cook/household manager/housekeeper as the children aged. They are respected members of the family who play such a critical, and evolving, role for the family. How do I find that? [/quote] If you start a nanny at the common DC area wage of $20 an hour and offer $1 raises each year (which is fairly a low amount for a raise) you would be paying, AT A MINIMUM, $30 an hour when your kids are 11 or 12 years old for a woman who is just doing some cooking and driving the kids around.... does that sound like a smart investment to you? Plus, if you were to have another baby during that time, you would have to add $2 an hour right there, so that would put you at $32 an hour after 10 years plus the sudden bump during whatever year you had the baby. [/quote] Some families can afford to prioritize their children's well-being over a few extra dollars in the bank. Good for them.[/quote]
