[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No nanny in her right mind chooses a poor compensation package if she's offered a better overall deal elsewhere, unless she's doing a charity situation for whatever reason. She'd get laughed right out of the Jobs and Careers forum on this site.

I can see it now... "I'm a nanny and I have two jobs offers. Job A is in all respects equal to Job B, except that Job A pays a higher wage than Job B. But Job B is enough for me to live comfortably, so I'm leaning towards that one. Am I stupid?"

Do you consider any other factors aside from the take-hone pay?  If so, then i can guarantee you that you will NEVER run into a situation where you have two job offers that are identical barring money.  They will have :

different parents (personalities, communications styles, how they relate to the nanny specifically as an employee, what they expect from a nanny, parenting styles)

Different kids (age, personalities, how many kids, experience with nanny/childcare)

Different family dynamics (divorced, single parent, WAH parent, closeness to extended family)

Different homes (location, layout, proximity to kid-friendly destinations)

Different job requirements (overtime, housekeeping, cooking, driving, tutoring, lessons, coordinating with staff, travel)

Different benefits (insurance, car, PTO, flexibility, retirement, bonuses)

The list goes on.  How does someone really have to explain this to you?[/quote]
Check your comprehension. "Equal" does not necessarily mean "the same." I said "equal".[/quote]
