[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op what do you do for a career? Are you a nanny? Do you employ a nanny? If so what rate do you pay or receive ? Just curious .[/quote]

OP here, I am a part time nanny. I make $25 an hour, but I have been doing this for 12 years. My point still stands that the starting salary shouldn't be $18-22 an hour. The average normal nanny salary starts at ~$12.[/quote]

Every job is different. There are a hundred little things that can determine what rate a family needs to offer in order to attract good candidates for their position.   You seem to be saying that no matter how much experience, education or special skills a nanny has we should start our jobs at $10-12/hr.  That's just not how it works.  I have a Master's Degree, excellent references and almost 15 years of experience.  I'm not going to start any new position at $10-12/hr.

Now if your argument is that newer less experienced nannies should be making less than those who have more experience, education, skills, etc. then your argument has some credence.  [/quote]
