[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outstanding employees earn outstanding wages. Every successful employer understands this concept. If you want excellence, you have to pay accordingly. Your nanny knows when you're paying her the minimum you think you can get away with. Why should she go 'above and beyond', when she knows you refuse to acknowledge her going the extra mile? She can play your game just as well as you do.

See how it works? You're getting over on her with your cheap wages, and she's getting over you with her constant laziness.

The problem is that neither of you seem to care about your child. The nanny will move on, and you'll eventually reap the consequences of neglecting to provide/employ proper care for your child. Bargain priced anything is never high quality. High quality ALWAYS costs more, regardless of how hard you may stamp your feet in rage in response to that fact.[/quote]
The nanny who agrees to wages she considers substandard, and proceeds to do substandard work, justifying it in her mind by substandard pay, is not outstanding.

Outstanding nannies, one would think, take their time to find families who pay their desired wages.  [/quote]
Most of us know that not all outstanding nannies are compensated according to their worth. They may accept a job until they get what they want. It's done in every profession in every field.

If you want to reduce your risk, you pay as well as you're able.

There is no objective rating of nannies, let alone outstanding nannies.  No one puts a gun to a nanny's head to accept a job offer with a rate she doesn't like. There are no victims here. If someone accepts a job, they implicitly agree that they are worth "that much".  Why take a job otherwise?

You can just as easily say that families may hire a nanny to tide them over until they find the one they REALLY like. Again, in the world of voluntary employment, there are no victims. [/quote]
