[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is ridiculous.  You are acting like you got stiffed when you didn't even set a rate.  And no one I know in real life would think that was a low rate.  How old were the kids?  Do you have a degree in early child development?  Do you have many years of experience as a nanny or childcare provider? Are you a teacher?

Please, act like an adult. If you like the family, tell them your rate and let them decide if they want to hire you.  If you don't like the family, move on.  You may be able to find someone else to let you in their home during a pandemic.  [/quote]

Everyone you know in real life is cheap and clearly cannot afford childcare. [/quote]

Then how do we all have fantastic childcare?  [/quote]

You wouldn’t know what fantastic childcare was bc you've more than likely only experienced basic. But in your world you think it’s fantastic bc you have nothing to compare it too. What’s that saying....“You get what you pay for.”

Think of it this way, why would a smart, experienced and educated nanny charge $21/hr for 4 kids when she could make that with 1 kid. She doesn’t sound very smart. [/quote]

Why would someone pay more than $21 an hour for childcare when they already have a fantastic provider? You make no sense. Something tells me your definition of a good nanny and my definition of a good nanny are very different. [/quote]

Umm...Duh. Obviously our definition is different. The difference is, I’ve actually seen your idea of a fantastic nanny and babysitter. The one who will take any job and who undercharges. The one who sit at the library and park all day not actually interacting with their charges. But I’m sure your childcare provider who charges low is so much different. I mean they are so fantastic and smart they come cheap. [/quote]
