[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference is that I didn't go to school and get a masters degree to clean your toilet. I'm paid $40/hr and do childcare only. You can clean your own toilet! [/quote]

I'm sure you're great at your job, but wow, $40 an hour? For that I'd want you to anything I asked you to. I also am amazed that there are many people willing to pay this when you can find excellent, educated nannies for half that. Good for you though[/quote]

$40 is not much considering on offices folks temping make $65 to $90 and folks rich enough afford nannies often make $200 an hour. My cousin was a full time nanny to a hedge fund partner in 1996 and got paid $40,000 a year. Full benefits and was live in in a doorman apt in Manhattan. That’s almost 25 years ago [/quote]

40 k a year is more like 19-20$ an hour. Nanny claiming to be paid 40$ makes double that. And refuses apparently to go above and beyond her duties. Most people go above and beyond at work if they want promotions or raises. My nanny helps out around the house and is nicely compensated for it with regular bonuses. [/quote]
