[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Family,

We are starting the Nanny Hunt, and I am blown away at the current prices people are paying. I have seen prices range from 15.00 at the hyper-low end to around 35.00 an hour! This doesn't even include the over-time, vacation pay, and other benefits.  I understand at least from this forum that many of you are paying these rates (unless its spam?), and I was just wondering the following:

1. What is your current Location

2. What is your joint income

3. What is the Price of your Nanny

4. How many hours do you employe her

5. How many kids is she watching?

I just can't see how any person making less then 150k can afford a Nanny at these rates? Am I wrong.

You're right, that person can't.

It may be helpful to think of nanny care as the top end of the continuum of childcare options.  I'm sure you accept the notion that in this world there is H&M and Chanel, Hondas and Rolls Royces, economy travel and personal jets.  Apply this logic to childcare. A personal nanny is the top end of the childcare range. If you can't afford that, it's OK - just like it's OK that you can't afford Chanel or personal jet travel.  There are many good options below nanny care. [/quote]
