[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think pp's point is, if OP can command $20/h as an experienced nanny, she wouldn't take a job that pays $14/h (with whatever extra pie). She WOULD instead, look for ANOTHER job that paid $20/h or closer (with similar flavored pie). [/quote]

Exactly. It's pretty clear.

If you are debating family A for $20 but they are far away and high maintenance/annoying vs family B for $18/hr and they are super sweet with awesome kids and they live 2 blocks away I could see taking $18. But for this same debate to make sense with $14 an hour the $20 an hour family would have to live two states over and be absolutely horrible people to work for. And if that was the case, as PP points out, your decision should not be to accept the $14 an hour job but to find a closer $20 an hour job... if that is truly what you can command with your experience.

Sometimes jobs are not as available as you may think. I know I am worth X per hour, but if the family can't pay that, and I have no other job prospects...[/quote]
