Making 40-50k a year with limited benefits and no job security is hardly living the lifestyle of someone making 100k. Some nannies are  actually well educated and could be teachers but enjoy one on one with children. They do more then wipe your kids ass. To say I'm selfish because I want to make a livable wage that doesn't involve me working a second job is crazy. [b]You obviously never truly struggled in your life[/b] to be say such a thing and have no idea the value of a great educator. Sure you can pay any hobo off the street to help raise your children but don't expect someone with experience and an education to work for dirt. If a warm body is all you need then good for you but even here in Boston illegals make $15.[/quote]

I haven't struggled financially but I have worked my butt off at school, and at work going beyond what is expected of me and doing work that I don't like so I can provide for my family and have stability. You CHOSE to be a nanny because you ENJOY working one on one with kids. Sorry kid. I enjoy making four course meals and going to movies. If I tried to become a cook or work in hollywood, I would not make what I do. What you are saying really tells me you only want to do what you enjoy doing and not work hard but still live well. Life doesn't work that way.[/quote]
