[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are more than 1.1 Million nannies currently working in the US. That means 1.1 Million jobs in the US are dependent on parents' investment in hiring a nanny. So 1.1 Million US households are currently providing employment to a nanny.

This means that hiring a nanny is not something that only the elite can afford.

Just like any other profession there are some nannies that have the qualifications to make more. But at 1.1 million employments, it seems that there must be enough accessibility that people who are upper middle income are also hiring nannies.

Families in the US hire nannies out of necessity so they can continue to work. it's not like Dubai where most women don't work but they still have a nanny, as the average salary is similar to the US, but the average nanny salary is $700/month.

This narrative that if you can't pay $30 then you shouldn't hire a nanny, basically means that the 1.1 Million jobs should be mostly eliminated. So a few who work for the elite can make a higher income.[/quote]

Private care is the luxury, not daycare.  The IRS doesn't separate babysitters and nannies, so where are you getting your data?[/quote]
