[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great experience being a full time nanny not an occasional or part time sitter, American born, 2 yrs of college, CPR/First Aid certificates, good driving record, infant sign language. When salary comes up, the parents either first offer the low rate or when they ask me my rates they are disappointed to hear $18. They say they want to hire me but they have other candidates only looking for $12. [/quote]

11:55 here. You have the exact same qualifications as myself. I would suggest doing some reading on negotiation skills. I was very timid when it came to this and I believe becoming more comfortable negotiating with parents and asking for what I'm worth made all the difference. I am up front with parents about the range I'm looking for in my first contact to them, also making clear that asking for extra things will push your job towards the upper part of my range (long or odd hours, unrelated housekeeping, lack of PTO, etc). You are a business woman! Set your rates and expectations and work on your brand![/quote]
