um, yes. I have been working as a nanny for 8 years and excellent references, experience with multiples and children with special needs, and planning activities with the children (no, I'm not going to call them lesson plans). when I first started, my rate was $14. my rate has gone up as a result of my experience and my families are willing to pay more because I have that experience. they would prefer that over somebody with no nannying experience. how does that not make sense?

I don't think this is a difficult concept. it seems pretty simple. you're training nannies to do $30/hr work for $12/hr work. seems like only the families would benefit from this. I'm sorry, but if they can't afford a $30/hr nanny, they shouldn't be looking for one. nanny shares, daycares, and other forms of child care are for them.

I call bullshit on this post and honestly think it's offensive that you think it would be good business and money in your pocket to lower the rates of people like myself that have put time and effort into our jobs. there's always somebody out there looking to cut corners and make a cheap buck, eh OP?
