[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents with high standards, first identify a few of the very best candidates they can find and can afford.

Like any wise consumer, they conduct an overall cost analasis (usually informally), and then proceed accordingly. If they're lucky, they contract their top choice nanny who accepts their compensation package offer.

Most high income parents will pay whatever it takes to avoid the endless nonsense we see everyday on this forum. They know a smart investment when they see it, and aren't about to loose out.

The penny pinching parents, on the other hand, get what they pay for: one headache after another, and then they wonder why all the smart parents aren't here to. The wise parents are too busy making a fortune to keep their nanny well compensated and happy.

That's not why wise parents make a fortune. They'd be making a fortune quite regardless  of whether they employ nannies or not.

But hopefully the nanny they hire writes in English with fewer mistakes than you.[/quote]
Why are you being super stupid? They aren't taking the baby to work with them, lol, and they can't leave the baby home alone. 
So how are they going to work without a nanny, Einstein?[/quote]
First, it doesn't take a fortune to employ a nanny.

Second, if you were to poll top earners with a question of "list top five reasons why you are making a fortune", the answer "to keep my nanny well-compensated and happy" would turn up approximately zero times.  So it's ridiculous on the face of it to say that "wise parents are busy making a fortune to keep their nanny well-compensated".  I'm afraid the nanny's compensation is not the reason they work. Or make a fortune. [/quote]
A well paid top notch nanny is what enables you to go to work every day, and focus on your job 100% so you need not worry about the kids.

In all my years of being a nanny, I've never needed to call in sick. I do what I can to stay healthy. The families are always more than happy to buy all the organic food I want. Their investment pays off very well for them, and for me.

"A well paid top notch nanny is what enables you to go to work every day" doesn't equal "The wise parents are too busy making a fortune to keep their nanny well compensated and happy."

I repeat: keeping nannies well compensated and happy is not at all the reason parents are busy making a fortune.  People who make fortunes would be making them quite regardless of their nanny situation.  If you work for fortune-makers, be assured, when their kids age out of nanny care and you leave, they still would be making a fortune. Before they had kids and met you, they were still making a fortune.  If they didn't have kids at all, they'd STILL be making a fortune.   They aren't making a fortune to make you happy.  They are making a fortune for their own reasons, and you ain't it.   That doesn't mean that you aren't a valuable part of their support system.  It just means you aren't a reason they are making a fortune.

PS: If you get hit by the bus tomorrow, all the organic carrots in the world aren't gonna help you.
