[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, being a great nanny is exhausting. Too bad some parents think of it as an easy job that is worth less than slinging fast food. [/quote]

How much do you think fast food workers are getting paid?  Most nanny's make well over minimum wage.[/quote]

That would be the point. Many parents feel minimum wage or slightly more is great pay for a nanny. They find no true value in childcare. [/quote]

That’s not true. I think what parents offer is usually related to their budget. We’d all love to pay you $50/hr, but at that point it would make no sense for me to work at all. [/quote]

The concept many nanny employers fail to grasp is that the nanny they hire MUST make enough money to pay her bills. If you (the parent) could not survive on what you pay your nanny, neither can she. This is caused in most cases by affluency envy amongst families making daycare level wages and expectating to get nanny care.

Do a little research on how much apartments and basic cars cost in your area. Think about utilities, cell phones, insuranc costs, and the cost of food and gas. Take this numbers, look at what you can afford to pay great e childcare, and then be honest about whether you can actually afford the most expensive form of childcare.
