[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP bull shit. Every single NANNY that we talked to reported her average rate when asked what she made at her previous job. By your logic those nannies were being manipulative and trying to cheat us into thinking that they made $15 base rather than average. The only manipulation is you trying to scam first time parents coming on this board for advice on budgeting.

BS PP here. 1) Did your nanny candidates actually say average rate? because that was not a term that I had heard prior to this site. In any other industry there's no such thing as a BS average rate. There's your rate, and then you get time and a half for OT. 2) You assume that the rate a nanny quotes you has anything to do with her previous rate. It doesn't have to. I ask for a higher rate for each new position that I take, and my contracts have a mutual confidentiality clause specifying that my employers are not to discuss with future employers private financial information including my wages. And finally, 3) I'm not trying to manipulate anyone. How does that benefit me? I was simply responding to a PP who mentioned the contention between some nannies and MBs over quoting average rates. Please don't try to act as if "average rates" benefits anyone other than MBs trying to skimp on OT pay by paying a lower hourly rate to compensate. Who is manipulating who? The likely more educated, financially savvy, experienced negotiator MB, or the nanny? Give me a break.[/quote]
