[quote=Anonymous][quote]I've always thought that the wonderful thing about being a Career Nanny is that your wages could always go up. There will always be wealthier families willing to pay you more than you made in your last position. Lazy nannies with little to no experience and no qualifications aren't going to be eligible for higher paying positions but there are some nannies out there who make more than a lot of the MBs on this forum make.

Also, it is not a great job market out there. I think that a lot of nannies expect to obtain a wonderful, well-paying position within the first week that they start looking. In order to get a great position we need to weed through the job postings just like parents need to weed through applicants when choosing a nanny.

[b]It took me several months of looking several times every single day on multiple sources in able to find the great position where I am now. It is worth the wait to find a well-paying position where you are appreciated and respected. Budget accordingly so that if something does happen to your job last minute you don't need to scramble and accept the first job that you are offered. Accept temporary positions while searching extensively for a long term position. Babysit to bring in extra cash during your search.m[/b][/quote]

This is good advice but there is a level of reality out there too. There are not many positions offered by super wealthy families who don't pay attention to what they are paying. Unfortunately, many of these high profile jobs are very intense with long hours, absentee parents, and travel. [/quote]
