[quote=Anonymous]To the nanny only making $10/hr,

I have to say as a MB in Arlington, I am very surprised how little you are paid.  We have a newborn and toddler and we just increased our nanny's salary so she makes about $18.75/hr.  When she started w/ us and DC#1 we paid her $16 something (DH does the taxes/paperwork for her, etc.) an hr which works out to $15/hr after taxes.  I can't believe you are responsible for 4 kids and accept only $15.  I think that most babysitters make more than you.  I know that even when our own nanny has baby sat for us on the rare occasion (w/ just one kid), we've paid her $20/hr just b/c of her time traveling to and from for 2 or 3 hrs of work.  And it's not like we're well off either.  We really love our nanny and know she turned down even more lucrative offers to work with us.  We are making sacrifices to ensure that we have someone that our kids love and who we feel very happy with.

Please tell me that you at least get paid overtime and that the $10 is the rate you net after taxes.[/quote]
