[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And understand that there is no shame in admitting that you cannot afford a nanny.

We seem to get so many angry and frustrated posters when they realize they cannot afford a good nanny.  Or they get upset because they can't find a nanny who will fit their exact needed time frame (like only 3:00PM to 5:30PM for $20 an hour).

It is nothing to get angry about or fight online about.  It just is.

If you think you can get a good nanny for four children for $15 an hour - try it.  [/quote]

I don't see it as anger.  People have different experience with the nanny market on both ends, and that's just the way it is.  It gets unpleasant on both ends when people begin to insinuate that just because your experience is different from their point of view, then there MUST be something wrong with it.  I.e.  the $30/hr nanny MUST be an outlier, or a $18/hr nanny MUST be an illegal alien with tertiary syphilis chained in the basement.

The truth of the matter is that there may very well be a group of nannies making $30/hr.  Let it be.  And there is (that I know for a fact because it's all over our neighborhood) a very large group of good nannies making $18-$20 hr.  There are a lot of shares where nannies make $20-22/hr.  Just because something is different from your claim doesn't make it wrong. It just makes it a big market with lots of buyers and lots of sellers. [/quote]
