[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The $30 an hour nanny watching one child is a privileged college grad doing little to nothing. Parents would rather have their kids in the care of some people and pay high for it smh. I was a great nanny but the most I ever made was $16.50 and the agency refused to give me a raise after 3 years. Glad I am out of nannying.   [/quote]

You obviously had an awful agency. Considering agencies don’t pay you, your employer (the child’s parents) pay you.

The agencies Cherry picks who goes to the ludicrous jobs interviews. If you have blue eyes and blond hair yes you will be considered but no I am black. And like I previously said the good paying parents want their kids with certain people. So ladies unless I settled for nanny share I was never going to make $30/h with one family hence why I left altogether.

To the other poster that replied to me; I did not personally address you and you have no idea what level of education I have so I suggest keeping your negativity to yourself. [/quote]

Come on!  Can you possibly read your own post and not see negativity and generalizations?! [/quote]

I make way over 30 an hour and I didn't graduate college. I do have 25 years in this business. I do take classes offered to me (sleep training, car seat, etc. This that constantly change and up date in this business)

It sounds like you went with an awful agency. You know you can be with multiple agencies. I am currently with 12 agencies (locally domestically and internationally). I have never had an agency pay me directly. That is a huge red flag! Agencies make their money from the parents fee.

What are your qualifications? Years of experience? Extra things (languages, skills, trainings)

If you want the higher pay, you need to make yourself stand out. Your resume doesn't have a color or race. It is the first thing a parent sees. [/quote]
