[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same nonsense on this board after the same question.  Nannies are called lazy and MB's are accused of wanting slave labor.  It is so fricking tiresome.

I'm a college graduate with ten years preschool experience and about five years of experience as a nanny - I am currently earning $20 an hour for baby and my employers do not pay for my health insurance.  I am paid legally, of course.  [/quote]

Do you not feel bad that you have a dead end job? In 15 years of working and you've maxed out at $20. Nannying should not be a career, you should nanny for a year or two during or after college and then get a real job with benefits, protections, and holidays. "Nannies" should not try to force parents to provide these things you would normally have to go to college and work hard to earn.[/quote]

While it bothers me to hear it, I have to agree. I am annoyed I have stayed in this field for so long, I was always just comfortable having a job and a purpose, I never wanted to risk my stability to try something new. Now here I am 12 years later and still making $17 an hour and not having any fun. =/[/quote]
