[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most agencies hate high earning nannies. The more the nanny costs, the less money is available for the exorbitant agency fees. People usually have an overall childcare budget.

Agency charges huge fees (for not much work) and then tells parents, "But the nanny we're giving you is a bargain $16/hour." That's how they justify their fees. They strip down nannies to poverty wages. Yep, try living on that in this area, let alone support a child.

Honestly, an agency fee is about equal to two weeks nanny salary, or severance.  So go it alone and pay out severance for it "not working out", or pay a placement fee to an agency do your searches and placements that way. [/quote]
That's very interesting. I've never heard of a nanny agency charging only what's equal to two weeks nanny salary. What's the difference between that agency doing the searches and placements vs. all the nanny agencies who charge you 10-20% of the nanny's expected annual pay?[/quote]
Silence. It appears the agency owner(?) poster was in her creative marketing mode, rather than honesty. Typical. Be very careful if you deal with these people. Most of them have earned themselves a very poor reputation, with zero data indicating any success. This does not bode well for the industry. Something needs to change.[/quote]
