[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the moms on here have made clear repeatedly that they do not give a damn if nanny can live on what they pay her. They don't care that she spends all day catering to their children and their families while her children are in cheap sketchy unlicensed daycares. It's not their responsibility to worry about whether the rate is liveable or fair. They want the best nanny they can get, pay the least she will allow, and work her for every last dime until she burns out and they replace her.

If you are describing a situation where a nanny is making below minimum wage and working 7 days a week then I would agree with you. The nannies on this board are complaining about being paid twice minimum wage and any expectation that they don't get to nap or watch Netflix for 3-4 hours out of every 8-10 hour day. You can't argue that making twice minimum wage is not getting a living wage. You also can't argue that not getting to nap for 30-40% of your paid working time is working you to the bone. Its ridiculous. Your MB is your employer not your personal benefactor and you are not her adopted adult child. You are not entitled to whatever pay she could afford, you are only entitled to what the market will offer you. If you don't like, then you need to find another profession. On the desire to do nothing for over 1/3 of your working time because you are childcare only, good luck on that one. I can't think of any other profession that is so lacking in supervision that this occurs.[/quote]

This. Exactly.

And for the poster who keeps using the word Nazi here...fair warning, from now on, I'm going to report every single post you make and use that term. It is extremely offensive and completely out of line with any of the debate here. It is truly a hateful thing to say, and if this is how hateful you are, you need to be called out, every. single. time.

I encourage any other posters, no matter what side you are on in this debate (nanny salaries) to also report and shut down such a hateful word from these forums.[/quote]
