[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]PP here- Now... Young girls who have barely any experience with sitting some kids part time trying to charge $20/hour is what upsets me as a nanny.

I once was looking for SAHM looking for to care for another child in her home to care for my child and I would drop off and pick up my baby at her house and all the responses I got was from teenagers HS and college students, and SAHM and they were all charging $20/hour in PG county. That was upseting because they either had no experience because they were too young and the others were asking for $20/ hour to care for my child at their own home while carig for their own child and other children, no driving, no nothing. Those people are the ones making it look bad for the professional nannies. I was blown away with te responses on care.com[/quote]

So you were pissed that a bunch of young sitters were asking for more than what you are making as a nanny? You were hoping to hire a nanny for $8 an hour and then come on this board to tell other parents that nannies like you should get $20. [/quote]

Uh?! I am guessing that reading and comprehension is not your thing, clearly!

But let me answer your dumb response. First of all if you knew how to read you would've noticed that I started my post by saying "PP here" ( look at the post before) did you?! Ok now I can proceed. I am not mad at young sitters who make more than I do because they do not. If you look at my previous post I stated clearly that I make $22/ hour, but I will go further to describe the difference between me and them charging $20/hour - Me: I have 10 years of experience as a professional long term and full time nanny. I work in Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Potomac/NW DC; I drive to their house (I get in a car and drive to the family's home, and that includes my commute time, wear and year of my car and gas). I pick the kids up from school and drive them wherever they got to go, I make them dinner and clean up after them, and when the parents come home their kids are home with full tummies and their kitchen is clean. Ohh, I also help with laundry, picking up their toys, make the kids bed and help with extra projects and even run errands. Parents come home and everything is perfect, they don't have to do anything but leave their shoes at the door and the dishes for me to load in the dishwasher the next day I come in. They pay for this!

SAHM wanting extra cash and watching other children at the convenience of their home: They are at their HOmE, with her children, no driving, no wear and tear of her car, no gas, she doesn't even need to get off her pjs if she doesn't want to. She is at HER HOME again, she can clean her house, cook her dinner and no expense with childcare for her own child. I drop my kid off at her house, not at her door, but inside of her house and she doesn't even need to walk to my car to get my baby, and I pick my baby up. Her work day is over and she is in her home with her child. See the difference?!

College kid with no experience as a nanny: They have no experience therefore they don't deserve $20 and hour. Do I need to explain it further?!

Ohh dont forget the location- Chevy Chase/ Bethesda/ Potomac / NW DC vs. PG county.
