[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:49 here. I'm assuming that some posters on this thread aren't from DC. If you are a nanny in DC and are properly compensated chances are you working for one or two attorneys. Attorneys in DC don't work 8-5. They work 8am until midnight with breaks in between. Weekends, weeknights, vacations, holidays, etc. They work with clients in different time zones all over the world and they work for firms who insist they have full time childcare. They can't pay off the books either. I am in total agreement with the previous poster who stated that parental leave in this country needs a complete overhaul. [/quote]

That's pretty absurd.  We employ a nanny and neither of us are attorneys (and we live in lower MoCo.)  Offhand I can think of 5 other families I know who also employ nannies so in that total group of 12 parents there is exactly 1 attorney.  He does work insane hours.  The rest of us have very standard workschedules of (typically) 8-9 hour workdays.  It makes for generally a 9-10 hour workday for a nanny to cover commute time.
