[quote=Anonymous]From reading this post and others I think it is safe to deduct that there are a variety of nannies and a variety of rates. Just like for another job (consultant to be vague) there are individuals that will do the job for $60k a year and individuals that will do the job for $100k a year. They both might do a great job, but they have different backgrounds and years of experience. Same thing for nannies. You may find a great nanny that is young but motivated that will accept a lower rate to get her feet wet, or you may find a nanny with 10 years of experience that requires a higher rate. It's about figuring out what works best for you and your family.

There are many entry points to jobs, and the fact that this forum believes that all nannies should make the same rate is a little crazy - no where else in the workforce does this happen. So take a chance on a younger less experienced nanny if you need to keep your costs lower, or if you can afford it and prioritize experience, pay a higher rate.

I've had both, and honestly, my younger less experienced nannies always worked the hardest because they were just entering a field. Yes, I had to teach them a few more things, but I never once worried about the care and safety of my children.[/quote]
