[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just clean it up.

I assume with so many family members there you are made pretty redundant and have a lot of free time.

Make yourself useful.  They’re there to spend time with their family, not clean up.[/quote]

Well said!! Nanny if you choose to fight you choose to find another job.  The last time i checked being a basic care-taker didn't require any degrees or special training.[/quote]

F off.  You are not a nanny and do not employ a nanny.  You are just the resident, fat and lonely troll.  [/quote]

1. I actually DO employee a nanny @ 14.00 in DC
[/quote]Maybe a live-in nanny would take $14/hr.  Live-out nannies make more.  You have a sitter.[quote]
2.  It is factually true, your job profile does NOT require a degree, or really any education. 
[/quote]To keep the kids alive, sure.  To do a great job?  Nope.[quote]
3. Most parents believe the more they pay the better service they get. You ride this fear, just like we do as lawyers
[/quote]No, I’ve stated before that parents set my rates, I either accept or move on.  I don’t play the negotiation game.[quote]
4. What scares nannies the most is the fear their job can quickly be outsourced to other high school students, or foreign workers.  [/quote]
High school and college students can’t do what I do, nor can they cover my hours.  By foreign workers, you mean people who don’t have a fluent knowledge of English?  Nope, they couldn’t communicate effectively with the kids.  The only people that be effective in my job have experience and/or education equal to or exceeding my own, and since most wouldn’t even consider the hours?  I don’t fear losing my job at all, thanks :)

In fact, MB’s parents were just here for four days.  They understood that I would work them into the schedule at every opportunity, and even though I offered time for special outings, they preferred being with the kids at home.  They also left food, discipline and treats up to me.  Since everyone is happy with my work, and the kids like and respect me, I’m not worried about losing my job anytime soon.[/quote]
