[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Nannydeb, you seem to think 20 years of experience doing laundry, wiping things, making meals, and being able function on a schedule makes you worth so very much more. Frankly, there's by much of a value add after two or so years of experience, as long as the nanny has basic common sense. [/quote]

OP has a nanny with minimal skills. She seems to NEED one with the skills to actually do more than keep her kids alive. That means she'll have to pay more.

And if you think all it takes to care for kids 10+ hours a day is what's in your little list, you obviously have no kids, and never spend any time with kids. There's a little more to it than wiping things, and the best nannies keep up with changes in the field, thereby giving them value added knowledge and experience.

How can you tell if your nanny stays educated? She doesn't ask why you put your baby to sleep on it's back, why it's not OK to let your toddler watch TV for 6 hours a day, and why your 2 year old is still using a rear-facing car seat. In fact, she might tell you some info you don't know about raising your child(ren)!

I do wish OP would come back and give us a full job description as well as say what she pays and her general location. [/quote]
