[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The  nanny posts here come across as very entitled and demand more money than most families can pay.  And families paying $25+ per hour expect a lot more education and English fluency.  So there is probably a smaller subset of families who feel they can comfortably hire a nanny.  Add to that so many nanny candidates that want to be paid under the table, and there aren’t going to be as many employers.  [/quote]

I'm the poster above who has mom friends whose max was $20/hr. I'm in total agreement with you. The pool just gets smaller and smaller and when you pay $25/hr the expectations are higher -- we interviewed many nanny candidates who demanded a higher rate but had never made baby food or knew what was happening (activity wise) in neighborhoods they claimed to previously have worked in. I got the sense that they knew rates had risen bc of covid-related demand but did not have the skills corresponding with the rate.

The nannies are also super anti-daycare on this board, but the reality is that most working parents cannot afford to employ an individual for 40+ hours a week. Working parents don't have options in this country and there is so little support for those in less flexible and lower wage jobs. It's really sad and I wish we could do better. [/quote]
