[quote=Anonymous]Oh brother. I am a nanny and this thread is absurd. You get what you pay for is only true below a certain threshhold. If you are at or below minimum wage, then yes: you are almost certainly getting low-quality care because your nanny is either living in poverty or working extra jobs nights and weekends or is so young and inexperienced that she still lives at home—basically there is some reason she would accept such low pay. But $20 and up in DC area you can certainly get more than a warm body! You might not get college educated, SN experience, NCS experience, decades of nannying under her belt, willing to drive, etc., but someone who cares about the baby and wants to do a good job? You should be able to hire that for $20 an hour. I only make $24 and I have been a nanny for a decade, use my own car and handle a fair bit of household management stuff besides![/quote]
