[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are tired we work hard for your families and most of us don’t even get a raise or a bonus. Instead we are left to feel unappreciated. I charge 22-25 per hour but I have been a nanny for over 15 years. You want to feel safe to talk about us but we can’t say freely how you parents make us feel. It is not right! We are human beings, mothers too we care for your children we do your laundry we do your dishes it’s a lot and no complain. Why you complain about us? [/quote]

Most jobs don't pay raises or bonuses.  In fact, even with inflation my spouses salary was just greatly reduced.  [/quote]

You cannot compare nanny jobs to office jobs.
  In an office position there is considerable freedom
  You can talk to other adults and are free to go out to lunch.  You have much better benefits of sick and annual leave.  Your boss is not a woman who is jealous of you taking care of her children. Rarely, are you micromanaged the way so many nannies are micromanaged.  At your quitting time you can walk out the door where as nannies have to wait for their employer to arrive home and many are habitually late.  Then they have to send another 10 minutes filling you in on the child/children's for day.

Personally, you are very lucky that so many women choose to be nannies and they should be paid a lot more than $25-$30/hr.  FWIW, I am not a nanny.[/quote]
