You searched already and found nothing?[/quote]

You don't understand how this works. You make a claim, you back it up. You can't just run around saying whatever you feel like and its fact until someone proves you wrong. That's not how the world works. Another hint; nannies don't make $30/hour (unless they work very few hours, like 1 or 2). If you make that much, you're probably doing much more than nannying.

Which thread was it that had the FT nanny earning $52/hr? No one said, repeat: no one said that every nanny qualifies to be "high-earning". You have your average, you have your low-earning newbie nannies (or the warm-body type), and you have the relatively few (rightfully so) high-earning nannies. After all, if they "all" earned 25-30, they wouldn't be "high-earning", would now?

Some nannies DO earn 25-30/hr. Remember, at least one nanny earns $52/hr.? So please stop with your asinine stupidity that "nannies don't make 30/hr., unless they work 1 or 2 hours". The ONLY thing you DO know is what YOU may pay a nanny. And that may be HALF as much (or less) as what SOME other nannies are earning.

And yes, high-income earning nannies indeed do much more than what most of you commonly envision for a "nanny". It may even be that they don't actually "do" more, depending on your understanding "doing". For instance, the best nannies do NOT engage in "multitasking". Because these nannies are not expected to "keep busy", as you call it, they are well-informed AND understand the overwhelming research, that multitasking is definately not something to aspire to. (You may google the word.) So, in just that one example, the professional nanny may be "doing" less, in your eyes. However, if our most acclaimed researchers in this field, come to observe such a nanny, they would most certainly recognize her uncommon ability to teach her charges in a developmentally appropriate fashion. And no, she's not going to try to make a bright 2 or 3 year old child, read. She knows better.[/quote]
You may be a good nanny - I'll take your word for it - but you are a damn bad writer. I wouldn't let you teach my child, not English, not spelling and not grammar.[/quote]
