[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents, 
Are you listening? Do you care? 
Is your child ready for yet another new nanny?
-another concerned nanny[/quote]

No - we're not listening.  No we don't care at all.  This nanny's financial scenario clearly represents all nannies fully, as do the presumptions about employers speak for the reality of all working relationships.

Do you actually think you're causing anyone to rethink anything they do as an employer?  If so you're sadly mistaken.  You're simply reinforcing negative opinions and doing your peers a disservice.

Your reply is a jumble of defiant words that do not speak to the merits of the issue. No one is saying this situation has the be the same for every nanny. If anything you could adjust the months expense a couple hundred dollars either way and still be in trouble because major expenses were not included.

The OP does not sink to your level of negativity or defensiveness. I sort of wish you had not posted at all, lest we encourage more of your aggressive lot onto this thread.[/quote]
Well said, 9:13.[/quote]

No it was not well said.  I'm an MB NP and I greatly appreciated the OP.  I thought it was well stated and respectful at the same time.  8:54 was obnoxious and condescending, assuming parents don't care about the nanny.  We pay the nanny WELL over $15/hr so to be honest the OP wasn't really necessary for me but I thought it was helpful for new parents looking to hire a nanny for the first time and trying to figure out what is a fair wage.  The bad/cheap parents aren't going to care regardless.  The parents who might find the OP helpful will be turned off by 8:54.  8:54, if you are really a concerned nanny then be polite and stop making nannies look bad.  If I was a FTM I'd probably put my child in day care because of some of the nannies on DCUM.  Fortunately I had a nanny before I ever found DCUM so I know that posters like you are not the norm in the real world.

OP, thank you for your thoughtful post.  I hope your employers appreciate you and if not, I hope you can find a family who does so you don't have to try to scrape by month to month.  You should not have to live that way.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you! I hoped to get more constructive feedback and I love to see MBs and nannies say they are not represented by the extremes. You are right, many employers and also nannies could be scared away by these types of postures.[/quote]
