[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree w/ last PP. Nannies are not easily interchangeable. That is precisely WHY it is common to pay guaranteeed wages and give perks not common in other hourly jobs. Because unlike the retail clerk or cashier, there's a big human cost to the loss of a nanny, not simply a financial cost to training up someone new. Most MBs are loath to lose a nanny - even one who's not too great - because of the disruption to their kids. That is why it is in their interest to pay guaranteed hours but it is also why professional nannies need to do their part in the interview, especially if it is clear it's a new MB, to help provide information on what's standard/expected when it does differ so significantly from other hourly wage jobs.[/quote]

So we should kiss the feet of childcare givers, throw loads of 'perks' and 'benefits' just to keep her interested? Hah, I must be a horrible MB because my nanny is making $9 per hour but then again, she's happy and my child is getting great care. Some of you are horrible with your guilt trips but they don't work on me.[/quote]
