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?

Silly poster, don't you know that nannies are a special breed that are entitled to the same lifestyles as their employers, even though they have no experience and expect to get paid better than your average teacher or lawyer? And despite the fact that millions of Americans live in less than stellar living conditions, you are a bad employer if you know your nanny is living in one of those areas because she is more special than everyone else.

No one has said any of that. Yes we all know that there are workers that have it even worse, but that is only in an abstract way. I would hope that if any of us actually knew someone struggling to pay their bills we would help, no? If you employ a nanny, she is not an abstract idea, she is a real person, coming to your house daily, caring for your child home and family, and you should give a damn if YOU are the reason she can't afford to live like a decent human being, even though she works 50 hours a week for you.

If an employer offers a salary and then the employee accepts the job and salary, why then is the employer responsible as to where the employee lives?[/quote]

BECAUSE NANNIES ARE REAL PEOPLE CARING FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!! YOU SHOULD PAY THEM A TON SO THEY CAN LIVE IN DC AND DRIVE A NICE CAR AND HAVE AN IPHONE YOU HORRIBLE MB!!![/quote]
