[quote=Anonymous]Your father was dramatically overpaying for the time and place. In fact, as more and more women have become well educated and moved into white collar work, and as nannies have become more of a professional career, I think nanny pay has risen faster than inflation (which is a good thing!). When I was a kid in the 80s, many moms were home (at least until their kids started school). Nannies were older women whose kids had left the nest, or younger women who hadn't started their own families yet, or women who wanted some pocket money. When my first was born and I was interviewing nannies, I had older women in my family (and family friends) who couldn't believe what we were prepared to pay, saying "what, isn't there a neighbor or something who could watch him?" That was a nanny back then. I think my mom paid my nanny $100 a week, which is the equivalent of $300 a week now with inflation - you can't get a nanny for $1200 a month these days![/quote]
