[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I no longer nanny FT but my new career is very flexible and a former MB gave me the email of someone who needs very PT care for the next 8 months or so. She and I exchanged a few emails where she told me she wanted to pay $15. I said I might not be the best fit for them as my rate is $22, but outlined everything that was included in that rate and said if she'd like to see my resume I'd be happy to send it to her. She did, I did, we met, and she hired me at $22. Sometimes families don't know what they want until you tell them what they can get![/quote]

PART TIME jobs are paid a higher rate than FULLTIME jobs.

In fact, I could go get a $27/hr job from 8am to 9am before school part time and come brag in dcum.

Now $800, $900, $1000/ week stable jobs are actually something to brag about.[/quote]

You apparently missed the post by the weekend nanny who is currently making $23 and hour and was offered $25 an hour to go full time.  Kind of blows your theory out of the water, MB.  [/quote]

What the actual fuck is wrong with you nannies being such heinous bitches about a post meant to illustrate that actively marketing your specific skills (education, experience, training) helps you command more per hour, even with families who hadn't planned to pay it? I'm not bragging, I make good money in my new career, but I can't have kids of my own and enjoy seeing them and supporting new parents and this worked out well for me. If I were bragging I'd tell you about my masters degree and years of teaching experience, from L/AB to AWC, the 17 glowing references I have to choose from, the fact that former MBs still call me occasionally to ask for my advice in dealing with a particular issue... But I'm not. I'm just saying that when you tell parents WHO WANT TO SPEND $15 AN HOUR, that you charge more but do XYZ, many of them are more than happy to pay SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THEY PLANNED TO. God almighty.[/quote]

If you are so great, mature and tenured, why are you bitching and posting on dcum. Seems like a waste of your time.

$22/ hr for part time work is common in bethesda. $75-100/day after school nanny. [/quote]
