I work 15 hours a week for older kids that aren't nearly as much work as an 8 month old and make over $2000 a month. Plus I get more vacation than that.[/quote]

Stop lying. 3k ( $18) is a very fair rate. Stop trying to inflate the wages and vacation. Three weeks of vacation is very fair. Most only get two weeks. [/quote]
NP. You are an a$$. All you know is what you earn. Period.[/quote]

I earn much more than that. I was former nanny and now a Pharmacist. I made around 3-3500k/month. I now make 140/k a year. I'm doing fine, sweetheart. [b]I'm sick of [/b]families that pay too low, and [b]nannies who overcharge for $25/hour[/b]. $18 is more than fair for one single child. You work with older kids. I worked exclusively with children from 0 - 3 years of age ( most around 0 - 12 months). It's not that hard of work. [/quote]

Not a very good nanny if you topped out at $18.[/quote]
Exactly. She sounds more like a 17 year old babysitter, and certainly not a career nanny.

You can never be the best, if you don't love your work.[/quote]

I was a career nanny initially but I left for a better job and income. Being a nanny is not a stable income. I was a nanny for 9 years. I worked with 3 families during that time. Very high-powered families. I was highly recommended and loved my job. As I matured, I realized I did not want to be stuck at a low wage job for life. I did not want to raise someone else kids after having my own. [b]I made 60k/year part-time[/b] after having my baby. We have a nanny and compensate her very well.

You seem to have learning to do. Just because someone moves to another career, it doesn't mean they weren't good at the former. It simply means they grew and matured past that. Being a nanny is a very isolating and complacent job. It's the same thing each day, with no advancements. You will never transition to a high paying job with only nanny experience. Go get a degree and get an education. One day you will be too old for a family and they will replace you with a younger nanny. Sad but true in the nanny world. [/quote]

So which is it? Are you sick of nannies overcharging @ $25/hr or were you making $60k part time (which is way above $25/hr). How many stories are you trying to keep straight?[/quote]
