[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know of any Nannies on this site making $15; if anything most are paid north of $25 an hour with varying levels of “luxury” services. Some are getting paid $40 + with benefits. I personally pay ours $31 an hour, and I don’t feel it’s a luxury service. I’m paying her because she is a genuinely loving caregiver, engages with my kids, and keeps very good care of them. I’m not getting any extras which is reliability (she’s late or needs a day off at least 5-6 times a month), she doesn’t do any kind of food prep or tidying. She is given a car to take the kids out so her car isn’t used. Outside of the fact that she really loves my kids and I need childcare due to the lack of care disaster is why I keep her on. Many of us parents are desperate for basic quality caregiving and we are paying out to have it. There might be some $100k Nannies out there but she better be Mary poppins with a masters and several years of teaching and care experience for that. I think Nannies here with several years, education, and taking on additional responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, organizing might command more money but that’s my take. I’m grateful to our nanny for her care but also looking forward to when we aren’t paying the same as our mortgage every month for care.[/quote]
