[quote=Anonymous]covid bumped up rates, but the recession is cutting them back to pre-covid n times of economic turbulence, many families are trying to create lasting solutions that may also account for one or both parents losing their jobs, or having their positions cut back in various ways. While at the height of COVID hiring in 2021, there was such an overwhelming demand for quality nannies and educators that many families were willing to pay $40-$60+ per hour, now that another COVID shutdown feels less imminent and families are realizing their next hires will hopefully last for many years, families are being more economical in terms of setting an hourly rate that is fair and comparable with the area’s cost of living, rather than being willing to pay “anything” with the knowledge that this is a temporary childcare solution. Navigating the ever-changing landscape of this pandemic continues to be challenging, but one thing remains true – as compassionate, experienced nannies, newborn care specialists, and agencies, we are uniquely skilled at embracing ambiguity, adjusting our expectations at a moment’s notice, and finding the bright spots in difficult moments. In the weeks and months ahead, we will continue to look for additional ways that we can support and champion the incredible work accomplished within this industry, looking ahead with hopeful optimism and indomitable perseverance. We hope these tips have been useful in helping you prepare for your next transition, and please feel free to check out these other resources which Adventure Nannies provides free to the nanny community!
