[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 1 yr old and 3 yr old and specifically wanted a young nanny who can dash into the street if needed, and who can run around all afternoon. I also didn't want someone who has tons of experience and would think their experience trumps what I want done. So I looked for someone with enough experience to know this is what they want to do, but not decades of experience.

Also, why do you say your mother wants $18 an hour but that's negotiable, but then won't negotiate down to $15?  Just say then that she wants to be paid $16-18 or whatever. [/quote]

So parents are now looking for Nannies that are young and naive?? That listen without having a conversation about concerning topics?

We do state $18/hr and when the parent has issues about pay thats when it is negotiable to $16 depending on the vibe my mom feels with the family. I put $18 for negotiable for everyone reading to understand.[/quote]

A lot of parents are looking for nannies who will implement the parenting practices they want in place.

Other parents want a nanny who will come in and do things her way, based on her experience. I think this latter group is smaller, though.

There's a bias throughout our society for young and enthusiastic vs. older and experienced. When you add children to the equation, that bias becomes more pronounced.[/quote]
