[quote=Anonymous]I make $13/hr and with my hours that ends up giving me around $550 (take home, I don't pay taxes) per week. I live in a much, much cheaper area than DC. To give you an idea of cost in my area, I am looking at apartments right now and will probably be getting something for around $800/month (and I will be splitting the rent with my fiance). I am an experienced, professional career nanny and what I am making now is actually more than what I was making in my last nanny position. I am very happy with what I am making and don't secretly despise my employers because they have more money than I do. I know that it is hard for some people to believe but there are nannies out there who have wonderful working relationships with their bosses and who don't hate or resent them. There are also nannies out there who are happy with what they are making and who aren't living paycheck to paycheck or struggling to pay their bills. And believe it or not there are actually nannies out there who enjoy the work that they do. I make $13/hr right now and I wouldn't switch positions even if I were to be offered $18 or $19 doing something else. I come into work every morning and am happy to be here. The are tons of perks and I really, truly do love children. I don't understand why it is so hard for someone to believe that someone would actually want to be a nanny. [/quote]
