[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. Mea culpas for all the typos on original post. No, I'm not being sarcastic and I am not a nanny. I truly do not understand why anyone would take care of someone else's child(ren) for so little money. $20.000/hr is a bit over $40,000/yr. , $32 after taxes. This is not very much to live on in this area. To me, nannying would be a thankless job with no job security, mistreatment, micromanagement, and horrendous job creepage. This is a high stress job , and tney should be paid a lot more.[/quote]

You aren't a nanny. You don't want to be a nanny because you assume it is a thankless job with no job security, mistreatment, micro management, job creep, and high stress. While any of those are a possibility, there are a possibility in any job. The fact is, most nanny jobs are fairly low stress and paid quite well considering the lack of education and qualifications required. [/quote]

Exactly. It's a step up (pay-wise) from flipping burgers and white frankly, requires the same level of skill and education. [/quote]

So to both of you, if you have kids, did you find your childcare by stealing a worker away from McDonald's and hoping for the best? Or did you make an effort to find someone who had a few skills beyond burger flipping?

I mean, you could hire someone off the streets and hope they have both the skills and sense to keep your kids alive 5 days a week, or you could extend your vision a bit and seek out someone who can do more than that. Someone who, shockingly, might know way more about children and their care than you do!
