No nanny is worth this much when starting with your family. Going rate is $18-$25 for 1 to 2 kids, on the books. Gradual, annual raises above $25 are reasonable.[/quote]
Why on earth would a good nanny accept a low wage like that? Do your expenses drop when you start a new job? You are absolutely ridiculous.[/quote]

Why do “good” nannies keep looking for new jobs? Probably cuz they’re not so good. Work hard, stay in a family, progress into house manager role if you’re good. If you keep looking for new jobs, then of course you can expect the salary to reset.[/quote]

A few reasons that positions terminate:
SAHP went back to school, hired a nanny, schedule changed and didn't need the nanny
parent decided to stay home with second child
family moved
nanny moved
family decided they wanted a target language after all
family decided to hire a special needs nanny after child developed special needs
employer's hours cut, couldn't afford a nanny
employer furloughed, didn't need a nanny
custody change
job was only ever going to be for a year
job was to do a certain thing, once done, job ended
grandparent wanted more time with grandchild
child went to daycare, preschool, kindergarten
single family nanny terminated when older kids were all in school and youngest joined a share
family transitioned to AP
family transitioned to housekeeper

None of the above have anything to do with how the nanny performed with the children.[/quote]
