[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't quite understand why people are so hostile to the OP. Maybe you don't think her business will work out, but there's nothing outlandish or bizarre about helping families hire employees that specifically fit their needs/ability to pay or about training employees. She's offering these perfectly normal services in the context of nannies, where she perceives -- rightly or wrongly -- a gap in the market. Perhaps she shouldn't have phrased it as "making a $12 nanny perform like a $30 nanny," but rather as "helping a newbie nanny acquire the skills that come from experience in a shorter timeframe" or something? But in every other profession, getting free job training is considered a good thing and doesn't mean your employer thinks you suck. And, yes, obviously after sufficient training you will apply for a higher paying job that utilizes your new skills, but that doesn't mean that the employer providing the training doesn't get anything out of the deal. If everyone on this forum's arguments were correct, no employers would ever provide job training.

OP is upfront about this being a brand new business and offering her services for free for -- she hopes -- the mutual benefit of both parties. If you're not interested, don't take her up on it; but don't act like this is an insulting or outlandish proposal.

And, yes, of course you can teach someone to be a better nanny. Don't be ridiculous.[/quote]

Thanks OP.

Yes I wanna make $30/hr nannying for 45 hours a week.  Where do I sign up and is there a guarantee?  Do you do training in Telegu too?[/quote]
