[quote=Anonymous]I'm not in DC now, but I ran into this with a candidate on my last search and just politely stated that the rate that I had mentioned was firm and that I wished her luck in finding a family who could pay her preferred rate. She had also recently relocated to this area and had been looking for a while. I'm guessing she either finally lowered her rate to something closer to market around here, or maybe managed to find a job with one of the few very wealthy families that could afford her rate. I had plenty of candidates who were fine with my rate and found a very wonderful and professional nanny that we love. It isn't worth trying to convince someone that their rate is unreasonable for the area. If they think that's what they deserve, even if it's way above market rate, then they'll never be happy with a job that pays less - until they've been unemployed long enough to appreciate that their rate is too high.[/quote]
