[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your worth as an employee is what someone is willing to pay you.  Agree it is not worth it to child care for a few hours without a premium pay but people demanding $30 an hour may not be reasonable.  Remember a parent has to earn much more than that including paying for their taxes and other expenses and what is left over is what they can pay you with.[/quote]

You are refusing to understand the OP. No, an employees worth is not what someone is willing to pay. An employees worth is what they are willing to accept. When someone makes you an offer you can either except it or negotiate. If neither party can reach an agreement you don’t just say oh well I’ll take the lower wage bc the employer feels I’m not worth my wage. You move on and find another job. What a parent earns is not my business when they are saying they want to hire my services. What’s unreasonable are parents really believing that bc they want a nanny but cannot afford one then nannies are wrong for setting their salary requirements. Here is the fact, if you cannot afford to pay the premium for premium hours then you pay cheaper and have no right to complain when your turn over rate is high. Why is this so hard to understand. No one is making you pay $30/hr; you pay what you can afford and get what you pay for. [/quote]
