[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care about education but I would expect a ton of flexibility and pitching in as needed (start dinner, call the propane company for refill, etc).

Managing the household upkeep is the work of a household manager, not a nanny.[/quote]
An employee who wants this salary from me is going to need to actually meet my needs. If you can make this rate from a family that is low expectations, go get it. [/quote]

Sorry to break it to you, but this is a typical salary for those who can actually afford a nanny. You can’t, so you’re confused. [/quote]

We have a HHI of $700k/yr and have always had wonderful, helpful childcare providers. [/quote]

I’m sure you believe you had wonderful and helpful childcare providers. In reality, they were probably average as that is what an average rate brings you. Most families posting here have never experienced a truly great nanny. No smart and educated nanny is settling. [/quote]

A nanny’s job is to make my life better. For $60k/yr you better make me life markedly better. [/quote]

No. What you want is a maid, servant, butler or household manager. A nannies job is to provide care for your children. A better job, personality and disposition would also help you immensely and make your life better. [/quote]

And a nanny’s job, by your definition, doesn’t pay $60k, given that it does not require any education past high school/GED, which I noted at the outset. If I were ever going to hire a nanny at those lofty rates, they better be doing more than “providing care.” A lot more. [/quote]
