[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goes both ways, OP.  I have a profile on care.com that states clearly that my rate is $25 to $30 an hour and just this morning I got a request to watch two children for $15 an hour.  It happens about once a month.

Why?  [/quote]

This is so true.[/quote]

Me, too!  First, the people are searching profiles as I am not looking for a job nor responding to an ad.  Second, my rate is stated clearly and yet these parents continue to contact me offering sometimes $10 less than my stated rate.  I have no clue why they think this is a reasonable use of their time.  [/quote]

How is this wasting your time?  Just don't answer or send a 30 second email.  The OP is actually interviewing people. [/quote]

The rates on care are always inflated. Dream salaries, if you will. One woman's salary was listed as $30-35 and she contacted me offering a rate of $20/hr.   Every nanny would love $30 an hour, but it's not going to happen for most of you. [/quote]

That nanny contacted you, the employer.  I am talking about employers searching profiles, seeing a nanny who is not looking for work, and then offering substantially less than her stated rate.  I am happily employed with an inactive profile and a schedule that clearly has me working full time.  [/quote]

I guess I have to take the extra mental step for you.  The employer probably knows that most of the rates that sitters post are their dream rates, and few people charge those rates in real life.[/quote]

HA HA!  So I guess I am "living the dream".

And to take another mental step for you - then the nannies answering OP's ad are also assuming that $14-$15 an hour is the employers dream rate and this entire thread is moot.  Everyone (clearly except OP and I) lies about their rates.  [/quote]
