[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example some attorneys charge $500 and hour and some attorneys charge $200 an hour; some house painters will give you a quote of $2,000 to paint a room while others will do it for $200 -- this is true in pretty much any profession. I don't understand why people assume there is one rate for any nanny within a given area. You will generally find a range for nannies and for housekeepers within your given location. [/quote] Exactly. Certain working mothers (and agencies for that matter), wish to create an artificially low "standard" or so-called market rate, just so they can maximize their ability to think they can afford a nanny. What you generally get for less than $20/hr is a babysitter, not a professional nanny who knows how to do her job. A sitter will keep you busy micro-managing her day. You don't do that with a nanny.[/quote] [/quote]
