[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Who is supporting your $15 wonder woman? Or is that none of your concern?

Why would this be her concern? Her nanny is an adult and apparently took the job, so obviously she can afford the rate.

It's true. There is no correlation between price and quality in the nanny market. It doesn't make any financial sense to pay $20/hr when you can get excellent candidates at $15/hr.[/quote]

I employ a nanny who does not drive or speak English.  I pay her $16 per hour.  She is pretty good with my kids.  I am in the know on how she is making her ends meet.  she gets about 50K over time.  I pay on the books.  She rents a one bedroom apartment for $1,400 a month.  I know she eats from Whole Foods.  she is 60 and does not have any loans to pay back or children to support.  she is telling me she is OK financially.  [/quote]
How many hours a week does she work to earn 50K at $16/hr? Seems like lots of hours....[/quote]
Sixty hours a week, unless she's paying OT appropriately.[/quote]

I pay overtime at 1.5 rate.  She works less than 60 hours, more like 50-55

Her children are grown and she does not have to take care of anyone.  She also does not have loans that a lot of other folks have.   She seems to be OK or so she is telling me[/quote]
