[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$20-25hr in DC is not the average nanny salary. If you can’t afford it that’s fine. Look for a in home day care. I am a nanny and have bills too. I can’t live off $20hr. I have a degree, over ten years experience and so much more. I am sure you can also find a college student with not much experience to do it for $20hr so you do have options [/quote]

Your feelings and your needs don't determine nanny market rates. They only determine what is worthwhile to you.  There's a wide range of nanny rates because of experience and capabilities - A family not offering a rate YOU determine as standard gives you no right to tell parents to 'look for in home daycare.'[/quote]

this is not about feelings at all; it's about inflation. It seems that you're not able to afford a nanny at today's rate. Not all parents are, btw. As a nanny(not the PP above) I have ALL the rights to tell parents to "look for in home daycare' OR community daycare. The days of cheap labor are way over; you can't afford it? simply be a SAHM![/quote]

You don't know what I can afford.  What people can afford to pay someone or something doesn't determine the price of that service or good.

Your education failed you since you can't grasp supply and demand.

Sounds like you can't afford your lifestyle and you should get a higher paying job.[/quote]
