Yes, for an average nanny you may pay her an average hourly rate. But what educated parent wants an average nanny? Do tell.

The ones who would really prefer to have their child/children in day care because of the cost difference between day care and a nanny, but are stuck on years-long waitlists. I see a lot of complaining about people who think that anyone paying an average rate is "cheap". I'd love to be able to pay $20+/hour for a great nanny...but I can't. As it is, I'll be digging into my savings in order to pay what has been listed here as the average. Child care, until I can get into a day care, is going to cost well above my mortgage payment. I can't just find another child care option because there are none. So please spare us your judgment, this is plenty stressful without our attitude. You want to make more than the average, then don't apply for those jobs. You deal with the high end people, and my educated but average for the city self will find people who can work for me within my budget.[/quote]

Thank you for your crystal clear illustration why it's SO very important to include your hourly pay range whenever you advertise for your job. So both parents and nannies can avoid wasting time on vastly different expectations.

Thank you again.[/quote]
