[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how much the nanny's, who are sitting at the park on their cell phones talking to who knows who and not paying any attention to the children they are supposed to be watching, are getting paid. Is that a $20/hour nanny or a $15/hour nanny. I just want to know what I am going to get for $20 vs. $15. [/quote]

You have no idea how much I hate seeing nannies on their cell phones or texting when they are working.  It's a beautiful day, the charge is in the stroller looking around and the nanny is on her cell phone when she should be pointing out different things to the child and engaging him/her.

I am a nanny, I have a college degree with additional graduate school credits in Early Childhood Education.  I only carry an emergency flip phone with me when I'm working that only the parents have the number to - my cell stays at home.  I take care of all chores that are child related - I do the child's laundry, clean his room and bathroom, shop for him and make his baby food - then clean up the items I used to make his food.  I have excellent references and am never late.

I do NO other family housekeeping - light or otherwise - that are not directly related to the child.  I have little spontaneous flexibility.  I can stay late occasionally if I know in advance but can rarely stay late at a moment's notice.

My rate is $20 to $25 an hour and am currently working with one child and have been since his birth at $21 an hour (with an expected $1 raise at my year anniversary)  That's what you get.  [/quote]
