[quote=Anonymous]Awesome, 13:31. Honestly, I'd be happy to pay $20/hour for someone I thought was worth it.  But the vast majority that applied were not even close.  The truth is that nannies are paid a huge range of hourly rates.  So sure, someone can come on here and say they make $25/hour.  I fully believe that some do.  But those jobs are going to be very few and far between, perhaps mostly because very few families are going to be able to afford that rate. And there are tons of perfectly good nannies who would take $15/hour.  Certainly I'd encourage the excellent professional nannies to hold out for higher rates - but they'll need to make sure they are positioning themselves with excellent references, experience, education or ongoing learning, and professional attitudes on the job (e.g., engaging with the kids while at home and out, no need for TV/electronics, ability to plan out the day and plan activities - essentially, making their employer's lives easier by building trust and confidence that their kids are in great hands).
