[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does 15. an hour support you these days, in a modest but safe DC area neighborhood?[/quote] You have roommates. No $1500/month 1BR or $3000 2BRs. You have an old car, cheap lease or use bus/subway. You buy food in bulk, limit eating out, eat smart (beans, rice, proteins, and fruit/veg are the costly bits). The amazing thing is plenty of age 50+ nannies in DC area make $15-17/hour, AND send money back to their families, adult kids, etc. They live frugally, know what markets to shop at, etc. Maybe the single millennial nannies could take a page from their book. [/quote] Your poor immigrant sitters and cleaners who send most of their earners home to support their families, are your doormats. Do they teach your child their ways of life?[/quote]
