[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- Honestly, you have to do what you have to do. If you are in the situation that you need and can only afford a nanny for $7/hr then okay, but there is no reason to brag about finding a nanny for that price and then discrediting a nanny who costs more than that.[/quote]

DAYCARE!

Nannies are not for low income people, we have to live off of what YOU pay us.  [/quote]

If you can't afford to pay a nanny a living wage, you cannot afford a nanny. Period.[/quote]

NP here.  I don't condone paying below minimum wage, but clearly OP can afford a nanny, because she just hired one.  [/quote]

No, OP can afford a daycare and this extremely (and unusual) cheap nanny. OP could POSSIBLY afford a nanny $10-12/hr which could be on the lower end of market depending on where she is. She is either really cheap and doesn't want to spend that much, OR she can't afford to spend that much and therefore really can't afford a nanny, she just got lucky this time.[/quote]

I no several people who have nannies for $8-$9 dollars taking care of multiple children. Just like some parents overpay their nannies, some underpay. There is always someone out there who will accept it and that's why some parents offer it. Heck, I just read a post about a (live-in) nanny taking care of 3 troubled children for $100 dollars per week.

If you can hire a nanny for below min wage then you can afford said nanny.[/quote]

Just because you hire someone at a ridiculous rate doesn't mean you can afford a nanny. At that rate you have a volunteer not an employee. Also how can you feel secure in your childcare setup? All it would take is minimum wage to top your offer!! You, PP, are sick sick sick! OP can not afford a nanny. Unless her nanny has a rich spouse, her nanny is living in poverty. Again, this is a HUMAN BEING, not a car you got a good deal on, a PERSON you are asking to live on what you are paying them. If you can't afford to do better, you have no business hiring a nanny. You are not entitled to a nanny, she is entitled to a decent wage you piece of shit![/quote]
