[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]No, PP at 22:00, I seriously don't.

I know 1 nanny who makes over $20/hour, but most of the nannies I know don't work for VIP's, or high-end families who outsource their child-rearing 24/5 or more a week.

We make good money, working for good upper-middle-class families. And we bring value to those families that hire us. We are neither entitled nor neglectful. We're just women who love kids, love our work, and do the best job we possibly can while living our own lives outside of the job.

I am sure that all the nannies making $25+ per hour also love their work, but I wonder if they actually enjoy their jobs and their lives away from work. Money isn't everything, wouldn't you agree?

I'd rather make less and work for people I like and respect who enjoy spending time with their kids, as opposed to working for people I disliked, who are disrespectful, and who see their kids as expensively cared for pets who were kind of a bother whenever the nannies weren't around to manage them.[/quote]

I live in Boston where a typical rate for two children is $20 for experienced professional nannies. I know of nannies who make $25-30 for three children. These are upper middle class families but not high profile. My job is cushy and I have no outrageous demands from my family. I don't even have any cleaning duties besides picking up after myself. I love my job!

Once you get into major cities where the cost of living and daycares increase, so do nanny rates. [/quote]
