[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I will get flamed as out of touch for this, but a lot of us who hire nannies are not so familiar with the hourly employee world outside of retail and other part time service jobs we might have had in high school or college. It is a significant blind spot, but I will admit that until we hired our second nanny, it really didn't sink in that the person we were hiring was literally supporting herself and her family with this job. It wasn't something to do while she was in school, or extra money, or a "starter" job. It was her job, like my job was my job, the difference being that she was paid by the hour.

I didn't do trial days, so this didn't come up, but it changed the way I thought about the total compensation package going forward.[/quote]

I would be ashamed to admit such stupidity.  You really thought nannies just work for fun and money doesn' t matter? Either you are too stupid to live or have had such a privileged life that you have no concept of the reality of life. Maybe it is both.  Such stupidity should not be allowed to contribute to the gene pool.  God help us.[/quote]

No. I just didn't think of it as a real job. It seemed like something a young person would do, or a retired person, or someone who needed extra cash. Not an actual career-type job.[/quote]
