[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you saying that $22/hour is not fair for a nanny share -- if it wasn't enough, then families wouldn't be able to fill the position. Period.

The fact is (and I say this as a former nanny) -- for the most part, being a nanny is not a highly sought after job. It's just not. That doesn't mean there aren't nannies who love their jobs, have made careers out of them, and chose the profession with intention. For many, it's way more money than they could make in any other job that they qualify for, and doesn't have many qualifications to get started. For some, the other jobs they could go into pay far less, and are not appealing for other reasons too.

I'm sure this will start a flame war, but it's the truth. When I was a nanny, I really enjoyed caring for kids, but I wouldn't have chosen it if I had other options at the time.

For my own children, I've employed two nannies. One of them had other options and was looking for a second career (had retired from a professional job), and just really enjoyed children. The other seem to enjoy caring for children, but also would have been hard-pressed to find any job that paid her even close to what being a nanny offered.

I don’t disagree with you. However, it just proves the kind of nannies accepting $22/hr. [/quote]
