[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the MB that said I wouldn't hire the nanny again because I think canceling is unprofessional behavior. In the many years I have had a nanny I have always paid if I have cancelled. So often on DCUM nannies complain they aren't treated like professionals. If you want to be treated as a professional you have to act like one and that means following through on commitments. It is business 101.... [/quote] Market rates and supply and demand must be business 201, since so many of you don't understand. If you pay someone less than they can get elsewhere, you risk losing them. Its on you to offer competitive rates. When you are hiring a nanny, supply outpaces demand, wages are driven down, and MBs can get away with paying very low rates. The sitter market is vastly different. Supply and demand are about equal, if not in the sitters favor. You have to be competitive. Basic business principles. [/quote]
