[quote=Anonymous]I have only read some of this thread.  I have also read some of the other thread about $15 an hour nannies.  I have employed a couple nannies, who come in expecting a lot of money, feeling entitled to more, saying they need it to live.  But then they don't even clean up after my kids!  There are some great nannies out there, who may really deserve a higher pay.  But I'm not going to may someone $20 an hour if they don't even clean up the messes my children make.  Not every nanny "deserves" a high pay.  I believe that higher rates and bonuses need to be earned over time.  I do want to pay fairly, but I get angry by the sense of entitlement among "some" (I know not all) nannies, who expect over $18 an hour to do very little.  
Also, hiring a nanny is a cost/benefit for everyone involved.  Not every employer can afford to pay $20 an hour, despite what some nannies may think.  If every nanny needed to make $20 an hour (and healthcare etc), more people might choose day care or a foreign Au Pair (which costs less), and there might be less work available for the nannies.
