[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no one HAS to live in Dupont.[/quote]

This is what is pissing me off in this thread. Nannies whining "I DON'T EARN A LIVING WAGE. I WORK IN GEORGETOWN AND SHOULD BE PAID TO LIVE IN GEORGETOWN! I NEED $2800 A MONTH TO COVER RENT!!!!"

Nannies, go live in SE, pay $350 a month by splitting a 2BR and take the metro to anywhere in DC. It's not that hard.[/quote]

SE?  :roll:  I'm sure if you ever even had to drive through SE, you'd have your music off, windows up, doors locked, and your head down. If you are okay with your nanny living in the slums, please exit the thread, because the grown ups are trying to have a conversation.

To the other posters suggesting silver spring, again, you are living in the past. Silver Spring may have been much cheaper than DC in the past. Where that $750/month Dupont studio is now $1800-$2300/month, a silver spring studio is $1600-$1800/month. I live in a semi-safe area of PG county, and my studio is $1275/month! I suppose I should split it with a stranger, ie. roommate? [/quote]

I live in the Palisades in a 1BR that costs $1350. Its not updated but its nice, the building is nice, the neighborhood is great, and I'm right on MacArthur. I don't know where you are getting these crazy high inflated prices, but again a nanny should NOT be living in Georgetown/Palisades/NW/Etc, that is a LUXURY, you should be living downtown and splitting a place with a roommate. Teachers and young lawyers do this, why should a nanny not have too?[/quote]

Because you are assuming the nanny is young and new to her career. You try to pay us all the same even if we have 10 years of experience. A new young nanny with little experience? Sure get a roommate. A 30 year old nanny, with a degree and 10 years of experience should have earned the "luxury" of not living with strangers in dangerous neighborhoods. But since everyone wants to pay the same shit wages no matter the nanny (I wouldn't pay more for a degree, or extensive experience, or this or that.) It happens on every thread about rates. You all want something for next to nothing, and you're totally cool with the person providing that service to live like a pauper. Threads like this make it really hard to respect my own wonderful MB. I have no idea if she's a shitty as you all inside, but I fear that she may be. [/quote]
