[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is wrong and periodically loves to come here and rant about her particular views. There is no guarantee that you get what you pay for. There are many lazy and neglectful nannies making $20/hr and many hardworking and professional nannies making $16/hr. This is why it is necessary to understand the market rates in the area and price the job accordingly. The job sets the rate. Nanny jobs are more consistent than the humans doing those jobs.

Research will confirm this, but nanny rates in the DC area are $15-17/hr for one child, $16-18/hr for two children and $19+/hr for 3+. Share rates begin at $20/hr ($10 per family).

If parents want some specialized duties or qualifications above and beyond the standard nanny job, then they should expect to pay a higher rate. If a parent expects a PT nanny with an unusual schedule, they may need to pay a higher rate.

The most important things for parents to do is be decisive about what the job requirements are, research the market rates in their area, and interview and hire from the candidates who they will be believe will carry out their job requirements.[/quote]

As evidenced by the first response to OP, you are grossly mistaken.

Furthermore, few good nannies would tolerate a control freak parent like you, unless of course you could afford a very high wage.

As to your market research, where is your proof? 
Hint: That would copies of actual paychecks and/or stubs, or tax forms, not what your girlfriends tell you or the illegal wages advertised on care.com.
