[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, its none of their business what you charge your other family. Your reasons are more enterprising then logical but that does not make it their business.[/quote]

Enterprising?

i just charge more because I feel that I am worth that price. I feel that I can command a certain price. I also know that if a family is living in sec 8 housing, they likely don't have as much disposable income as someone who lives in a 6000 sqft house in McLean.[/quote]

So why would you take their job? I guess I'm not understanding.

The way it appears to me is that you can NOT actually command X price and you only luck out with the higher paying jobs occasionally.[/quote]
Why take the job?

Hours, location, decent family. Reasons like that. I wouldn't take it if it put me under a certain income level. I try to work with the parents on price but I do have minimum requirements. So while I won't charge you the normal $20/hr, I can't go below $14.[/quote]

LOL No one that can easily and reliably make $20/hr as a nanny would take a long term job that pays $14.... that is a HUGE difference. If you were talking about say babysitting for a low income family for one night, sure maybe you take a pay cut, feel good cause you helped someone out of a jam, and also made a couple bucks on the side. But to say you are taking a $6/hr hit because the family is "decent" and not too far away is absurd.[/quote]
Lol. You should have learned by now that the wage is only part of pie. [/quote]
