[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make a $175k salary, which is $84 an hour.  After tax and deductions this is around $55 an hour.  So no, I’m not going to hire a nanny for more than $20 an hour.

You're allowed. I promise! And just like your employer, you get what you pay for. [b]What's good enough for you is good enough[/b]. Right?[/quote]

If this rule made sense then no woman would work since the nanny would be paid the same amount as they earn!

Truth is, it doesn’t take much skill to play with blocks with my child and push a baby around the neighborhood.  Whereas I have a specific exepertise that most do not have and my employer recognizes this and my salary reflects this.  [/quote]
Perhaps this explains why so many big kids (their knees are stuffed in their faces) are still getting pushed around in a stroller: 
neither the parents nor the sitter can figure out when the kid should be walking.[/quote]

Not sure.  I’m not hiring a nanny to raise my child.  I do that.  A nanny is just to look after them and keep them out of trouble.

Perhaps you aren’t used to living in a city... if your means if transportaiton is walking then if you’re walking with a toddler it will takes way too long to get anywhere.  Hence the scooter or stroller.  [/quote]

[b]Nope.  Nanny here.  Once a child is capable of walking, we walk, and I plan to carry if/when they are tired, [/b]and I budget time accordingly.  When they are babied in one way (stroller), they don’t understand as easily that they need to not be babied in other ways (potty training and talking correctly).[/quote]

Weird.  I take my child in a stroller to the grocery store as it’s almosf a mile away.  It would take us ages to both walk and there’s no way I could carry her.  There’s no way you live in a city or you’d understand this.

Almost every child at my neighborhood toddler story time shows up in a stroller and it’s because all of the moms and nannies walked there.  [/quote]
No worries. Strollers are often appropriate for toddlers.
