[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip, nannies. Your budget is not your employer's business. If you think nannying is a low paying job, get into another line of work. The market rate for a nanny is $15/hr, give or take. It is an easy line of work, no license is required, and has very few minimally acceptable skills. Basically, anyone can be a nanny if they want to. Many nannies are willing to work under the table, and there are families willing to pay them illegally. These are the reasons nannying is a low paying job. It has nothing to do with greed on the MBs part.[/quote]

No you get a grip. You all will cry for the wal mart employees, or fast food workers, but don't give two shits about the welfare of the real person in your home every day, caring for your child. Yes anyone can try to be a nanny, but not everyone is a good one. If you are fortunate enough to have found a good one, you might want to consider if what you are asking her to live on is a livable wage. PP inadvertently illustrated that $15/hour in DC is not enough unless you are a college student living with 4 other people in a shit apartment, and your employer provides your lunch every day.
