[quote=Anonymous][quote]But do you think in this nanny employer/employee world it is possible to get a truthful salary poll?  [/quote]

No you won't get good data from this approach. There is a perceived incentive that if you post a high rate, employers reading may be convinced to raise their rates. I don't think this plays out in reality. When we are start searching for a nanny and asking them about their desired hourly/weekly AND what they made at their last job, and ask neighbors what salaries they started at vs pay now, you find out the actual market for your area.

Regardless, it clear from several threads that nannies do think that posting higher rates will somehow influence the market. Maybe it does work sometimes and some employers fall for this. More power to the nannies if employers fall for this and don't research their own market. It doesn't give you good data though.

Even if the data was accurate, comparing salaries/rates across markets with a very small sampling isn't useful data either.
