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]

Do you think private in home care for your child should be cheap? Your value of your children says a whole lot as you don’t even value the person providing care for them. If you were an actual parent, then you would know how hard raising children are and would in fact appreciate and respect the profession more. Send your child to daycare bc that’s what’s clearly best for a person like you. Although you would probably try to demean daycare workers and scream that they charge too much and should be doing more to help you, like providing car service and laundry. You sound more like a person who would prefer home daycares. Cheap and not always regulated.

A nanny isn’t for everyone as you so clearly keep demonstrating. If you don’t require any education or experience that’s on you. Those are your lack of requirements. For someone of your mindset I can understand why you consider $60k a lofty rate. Also explains why you think nannies aren’t educated. But yeah, I’m sure your uneducated and low paid nanny was very excellent. I’m sure they were helpful as you very clearly employed and took advantage of an immigrant who probably didn’t speak English and needed to be paid under the table. So they were happy to work and do anything to keep their job. But, I also think you are trolling, so there’s that. [/quote]
