[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rate you should pay your nanny is tied to your income. If you are making $500,000 a year don't expect to pay the same amount as someone making $100,000 a year, even if they have more kids. That's just the way it works.[/quote]
It actually doesn't work that way.  Like all jobs, nanny jobs have an income ceiling.  A bag of onions costs what it costs, they don't charge you more for it because you make more money.  A bag of onions at Whole Foods costs less than at Aldi's, but it wouldn't cost fifty bucks anywhere in the world. [/quote]

Depends if you want a Whole Foods nanny or a Walmart nanny[/quote]

It does. But it doesn't matter if you make $2 mm a year. "Whole Foods" charges the same "nanny price" no matter how much money is in my wallet when I walk in. [/quote]
Here's another thing you need to learn.... Since I tend to be a never-absent live-out nanny, the more pricey your area, the higher my housing costs. I prefer minimal commuting (driving or walking,) so snow isn't a problem.

And oh, you haven't shopped Whole Foods much in different parts of the country, have you? Because their prices do in fact vary according to real estate value and other factors.

And finally, there *are* some nannies who earn well over 100k, but don't get flustered about that. You just stick to your Aldi babysitter, and have a lovely evening with your Aldi self.
