[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Professional nannies can earn $20 an hour because they know how to behave professionally and they take initiative. Some nannies get lucky and land in a $20 an hour but it doesn't last if they behave as bare minimum only type nannies. This doesn't mean that you scrub the floors but you certainly don't turn your nose up at running to the grocery store. $20 are not paid to sit around on their rears and their phones. They know how to present themselves and take their job seriously. They don't ask to leave early on the 3rd day of work. They don't create an annoyance by making a big deal out of waiting in building vs a car. They don't race at the door the minute they get off. They prepare logs and are ready with an efficient update on the kids. [/quote] Sounds fine. For the third time, money wasn't my motivating factor in taking the job. Initially being told no housekeeping, no errands, and being reimbursed for gas were. In my last position, I was paid 16/hr, did light housekeeping (family laundry, sweeping, loading/unloading dishwasher, sanitizing tables and counters, pick up in game room and living room) and ran errands (grocery shopping, dry cleaning and post office mostly). I was leaning towards the lower paying position because the distance being closer and traffic very minimal were huge advantages and it INCLUDED light housekeeping as part of the job, but after talking it over with a friend, and getting feedback on here decided the rate and not doing tasks I did in my last position would make up for it. I should have known it was too good to be true. My mistake.[/quote]
