[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a reasonable rate. You have to realize not everyone is a high earner and in order to pay you, their salary, minus taxes, and all that good stuff plus a little left over.[/quote] If $12-$15 an hour is too expensive then you shouldn’t be looking into a nanny for care.[/quote] Where do you think you are going to get a job making $30-40 an hour outside babysitting? That is double minimum wage and reasonable.[/quote] Go live off off minimum wage and see how doable it actually is. The statement stands, if $12-$15 an hour is too expensive you should be looking into another form of childcare. You don’t have to have a nanny. It might be your first choice but, it isn’t your only choice. [/quote] PP, the market will work this out. If OP and others can't find a suitable nanny at their desired rate, then they will know they need to increase what they are offering. If they can find a suitable person at their desired rate, then I guess it is within market range.[/quote] +1 The market will work this out. I would love to make $100 an hour, it doesn’t mean there are any open jobs that will pay me that much. [/quote] This doesn’t have to do with “market rate.” This more so has to do with a nanny desperate to work and willing to take anything. I’m not delusional enough to think I would find any job paying $100 an hour but I am smart enough to know that I can charge $25-$30 for a nanny share. [/quote] Is this the OP? Why are you here if you're smart enough to charge more. Charge more and be done with it! Otherwise, accept that the market rate in the areas you're looking is around $22/hour for a nanny share. By the way that's well above minimum wage and your hours will be guaranteed in the contract you all sign, so I'm not sure what you're complaining about.[/quote]
