[quote=Anonymous]I make $40 an hour(most of the nannies i know make about the same) and actually found my current family by posting an ad in a library in D.C. There are families who pay well—you just have to keep searching. I completely understand where you're coming from. Nannies aren’t for everyone; we’re considered a luxury. Ten years ago, I was charging close to $30/hour, but I would never accept that now. We have to know our worth and stand by it.

Honestly, families shouldn't be having kids if they can’t afford the real cost of raising them—including childcare. If you want, send me your number and I can refer you to a previous family of mine who was looking for someone in your rate range. What you're dealing with doesn’t sound like your fault at all.And yes, I sleep when the baby sleeps too. I've been doing this for 12 years, and with the cost of living so high—like $2,500 for a basic, non-luxury apartment—how is someone supposed to live on $25 an hour? That would mean working almost the entire month just to cover rent. Some people are just cruel. They only care about their own needs and couldn’t care less about the person looking after what’s supposed to be the most important part of their lives: their children.[/quote]
