Better than average families usually find better than average nannies. They know what they want usually costs more.

They don't want what I typically see in the neighborhood playgrounds. They want a professional that doesn't need micromanagement.

The principle still holds. You advertise for what you want, see what comes in that meets your standards, and look at their asking rates. It's not rational to say there is no market rate for what you want, whatever it is.

Thing is, everyone wants something different, in spite of that list of basics.

I never said it was a list of basics, I said it is a list of what you want. However different what you want is, there are people out there who have it, and they have asking rates. When you find them and find out what they charge, this is your going rate.[/quote]

Smart families price the job based on the requirements of the job and the market rates for the area. Market rates can be found here, on neighborhood list servs and by asking other nanny employers. The BLS also has average nanny rates, but I find they are a little on the low side. Using those metrics, a NF can establish a range they are comfortable with and only interview nannies who charges within that range.

It has been proven again and again that overpaying does not buy a better nanny. In addition, overpaying might sooner price a nanny out of a job when annual raises and other perks are factored in. There are far more nannies than jobs (at least in this area) so it is imperative that NFs do their research and price their job accordingly.[/quote]
