[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here: to everyone complaining that paying $2,500 for an apartment is "outrageous" How dare you? Thats a basic apartment in the area without rats and mice. Blain inflation not us. Its not our fault that you are unsuccesfull and cant pay for luxury and then if you do have the money, then you are just abominable if you think nannies have to swallow your disrespect and mistreatment that we  nannies have endured over the years not anymore its 2025.  I’ve been in this profession a long time, and I’ve lived through it too. At one point, I decided I was done being overly loyal to families who didn’t value me. Now, I show up, do my job with professionalism and care, and that’s it. No emotional labor beyond what’s genuinely necessary—especially with the kids, because they’re innocent and always deserve our best.

But when it comes to the families? Too many of them want the world from you, while offering the bare minimum in return. That’s ridiculous. You're trusting someone with your children—your everything—and yet you don't want that person to thrive too? That’s not just backwards, it’s messed up.

The nanny community has been pushed around and undervalued for way too long. It’s time we start setting boundaries, speaking up, and protecting our peace. Say no when something doesn’t feel right. Prioritize your mental health. Educate families—we’re not naive, and we’re no longer tolerating nonsense. We provide a premium service, and not everyone is entitled to that. If someone can’t afford quality care, then maybe they should reconsider bringing children into the world just to cut corners.

I’m lucky I joined my best friend’s agency years ago. We don’t deal with drama or disrespect. If someone thinks my rate is too high, that’s fine—bye! The agency will place me somewhere else within days.

People need to start appreciating the nannies they have. Go read the horror stories out there—some families wish they had a good nanny. Right now, money isn’t even my top concern. I look at benefits, bonuses, long-term stability. I earn six figures, and so do many in my nanny network. The market isn’t broken you’re just dealing with greed.

DONT SETTLE FOR LESS. YOU are worth that and more. I bet theres a special place in hell for those who do have the money and wont pay your employees a living wage.

How dare we?   We live within our means.  My mortgage is not that much. You are worth what someone is willing to pay you.  If you make that much great but doubtful. [/quote]
