[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you really believe that all your immigrant nannies have "chosen" to be a domestic worker? I don't think so. If you are so challenged to manage living in the DC area, how is it that your help manages? I hate to have to say the obvious here, but how often is it that the rest of society must supplement your bargain nanny by way of social services? I don't suppose anyone knows, given that the majority of these domestic workers are being paid off the books.

You are absolutely correct in that how she manages to live, is indeed none of your concern. After all, she is an adult just like you.

Really?

Yes, really. She is an adult, just like me.

I'm not sure why you're assuming that we are discussing immigrant nannies making below minimum wage and off the books. I also think you are very disrespectful when you call nannies the 'help'.

Fact is, the market drives compensation rates. The market in DC is $15-20/hr. The market is driven by the number of job seekers and the average rate job seekers are willing to take and families willing to offer. That's it. We get that you think employers should pay based on a lifestyle you'd like to have, but that's foolish. Stop beating the invisible dead horse.[/quote]

I want to bold and applaud every word of this.[/quote]
