Well if a 40 year old is doing the exact same job that she was doing 20 years ago then guess what her pay is not going to be much more. You'll have some natural inflation but don't expect big bumps. There is bump in how much you make when you compare someone with 0 experience and someone with 5 years experience but after this more time doesn't equal more money because the extra experience isn't really changing your marketability.

This happens to people in many industries if they stay are in a job that has no upward opportunities. If a nanny wants to make more than what the market is paying nannies which is around $15 then she needs to rethink her career plans. She could look into taking a 40 hour a week @$15 nanny job and then offering tutoring services after school or on weekends. She could take some business classes and try to build a nanny agency. If she is great at kid's events, she could offer weekend kid birthday party services. These options all involve more work but more money involves doing more work or working at a higher level.
