[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The researchers found that domestic workers who were illegal immigrants earned considerably less than those who were American-born or naturalized citizens.[/quote]

[quote]Ten percent of the domestic workers reported that at least once during the past 12 months they were paid less than agreed to or not at all.[/quote]

While the article touched on it (with some of the workers being illegal immigrants), it does not come out any say whether or not ANY of these workers pay taxes. [/quote]

To this I would add that the $10-12/hour daycare workers are supervised by someone who earns considerably more.  These daycare workers are not paid to make decisions, etc. but to maintain order in the class, make sure diapers are changed on schedule, lunch and snack are served, etc. Your nanny is sole charge when you are gone - one would hope you take this into consideration when evaluating candidates and compensation. There is clearly some middle ground between the $10/hour daycare worker and the $20 hour entitled nanny.[/quote]
