[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Your question is irrelevant, 11:55. Each nanny job is different. There is no one pay scale rate for the nanny field because there are no accepted measurable standards for excellence in the field. There is no licensing, no standards of education, no concrete set of skills that are guaranteed to be able command a particular salary. Further, nanny rates are affected by location, number of children, and other factors that may not be directly related to a particular nanny's qualifications. Also, as has been pointed out here before, nannying has a low barrier for entry, which means there are plenty of candidates with a wide variety of experiences in the marketplace. You don't need a college education to be a nanny, although there are families who may pay more for a nanny with a BA. Experience is often worth more, but there is a ceiling to that, depending on individual career paths. And accomplishments are difficult to measure. How one family may perceive your accomplishments is likely different than how another family might perceive them. Comparing the nanny field to any other field ignores the complexity of the nanny job and the hiring challenges inherent in the field. You also sound a little weird and not very reflective with your constant badgering about money.[/quote]
