[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear nanny employers & especially Agencies-

Please post the job salary. Pretty please!  It's so frustrating to apply to job with beautifully written cover letters & resumes. And then only after the first interview and all that time and effort find out they are not offering nearly what you want.

Many agencies also refuse to post or tell me their clients salary offered until after the interview!!!! So frustrating!

I found a job on Craigslist that asked for a candidate with an Early Childhood Education Degree, someone who is fluent in French, someone who has at least 5 years experience, for 50-60 hours a week. They said they offered a "Generous Salary". I have all the credentials they want, so I applied. During the interview they finally told me their salary offer was $45k! I was assuming it would be at least double bast on experience.

Why is it such a secret at first to post salary? It weeds out a heck of a lot of people. Thank you to some agencies like Wellington who do post. And I wish others like Pavillion would be more upfront.

Searching for a job is hard. Why make it harder?[/quote]

That 60 hrs a week would come out to $31.25/hr for 90k. Even more per hour for 50 hrs/wk. I don't know where you live, but there is no freaking way that you should be expecting pay like that for what little experience being mentioned (at least 5 yrs means they might only have 5 yrs). I live in SF, and while there are jobs that have great rates, to think that you deserve 90k a year just because of 5 yrs experience, being able to speak French, and having a degree in ECE, that is just plain ridiculous! So if I find that crazy for an area that actually has most positions starting at $18-22/hr, I can tell for damn sure that in other areas you would be hard pressed to find that rate even with 20 yrs experience and being able to speak French, Spanish and Italian.[/quote]

Can you read? She's complaining about a salary of $45K, half the rate you've calculated. [/quote]
