[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is up with some of the nannies on this board? Elite nannies are caring and do this kind of work because they feel it is a calling and not work...Why all the bitter questions and topics getting started, it seems like this is coming from one angry nanny who sounds like they need to get out of the nanny profession and get some professional help.[/quote]
Many of us do indeed love our work, but make no mistake. It is work.[/quote]
Do any parents here not earn a living, just because they love their work?[/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean by some one not earning a living. Are you referring to the $15/hr thread? $15/hr at 40 hr/wk is 31k, and at 50 hr/wk with OT, it's 43k. That's the starting range for Architect. Are you saying architects, receptionists, and others earning $15/hr aren't making a living? That is what a third of American households, not just individuals, earn. If that nanny is the only member of her household, that she's with 1/3 of Americans. If she's one of two earners, then her HHI is at or above the median for American families. I know it's not much, but to say it's on par with making nothing - I don't know what to say to that. If you ever lived off less, maybe you'll have a different perspective. [/quote]
Do you think being a nanny should be considered a starter job, not a longterm profession? Low pay is appropriate for bottom rung workers, including brand new architects.[/quote]

40k is also the median salary for teachers in LAUSD. Do you think that's appropriate? Probably not, but whether people think they're earning an appropriate salary isn't what determines the market for that profession. [/quote]
