[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Why is it so hard for DC nannies to believe nannies in different parts of the country make significantly more? "

because the turning of this board into a non-DC specific one has totally gutted its utility in terms of compensation norms. Maybe they pay $50/hr in Beveral Hills; that has zero impact on what happens here in DC. So compensation discussions turn into a total waste of time when they are not about a specific area.[/quote]

If you notice, we happen to be in the GENERAL discussion area of the forum as well. There are regional sections, and that is where discussions that are region specific (like with local rates) should take place. General discussions should have no impact by where someone is located.[/quote]

You are attempting to derail the essence of this discussion. A well compensated nanny is a well compensated nanny. The $25-30/hr nanny can be in the DC area, NYC, Boston, or Malibu. Depending on who you are, you haven't necessarily heard of these higher than average rates, but those in the know certainly have.[/quote]

You are seriously confused about who I am and what I am talking about. I was not trying to derail anything about the discussion. From what I read, the PP that I had been quoting was doing that. They were the ones stating that compensation discussions are a total waste of time when they are not about a specific area. *I* was the one that said that a discussion posted here should have no impact by where someone is located. Also meaning that if someone is being paid above average, it doesn't really matter what the actual price is OR where they are, as long as it is higher than average in their area. I was also a person who commented that this thread had no location question in the original post, after someone went off about people who are outside of the DC area not having any valid input on rates for the DC area (or some BS like that).

I am actually a quite highly paid nanny in SF, so I honestly don't know how you people are thinking that I am saying higher than average rates don't exist. I was just commenting to people that WERE trying to make this into a DC only rate thing, that if people DO WANT specific rates for their region and others who are NOT in that area to not comment about THEIR local rates, that there is another section of the forums for that to be discussed. That this is a general area and expecting wide open discussion from nannies all over the country is not only allowed, but expected. That is slightly off topic, but the PP's that I was quoting and responding to were the ones taking it away from the original question asked. I was trying to say that everyone's opinions were valid and that this was not a case of someone asking something specific about the DC area.[/quote]
