Additionally, there isn't much a so called $20/hr nanny offers a parent than a $14/hr nanny can't that is of measurable worth, which is another reason market rates vary more by geography than anything else. Sure, some parents value some things, like ECE credits or experience, but there is no objective measure that shows that having that experience makes a nanny worth more per hour.

Would you say that in general you believe that educated, experienced parents are better equipped to raise children? You'd probably want to avoid sweeping categorizations, but you'd acknowledge at least that higher education correlates with parents who expose their children to a wider and more sophisticated vocabulary, spend more time researching information related to their development and well-being, and are informed enough on a variety of topics to correctly answer questions like, "why are leaves green?" and "is Pluto a planet?" These would be just three of the potential benefits of an educated and experienced nanny, helping to explain why she costs a little bit more.[/quote]

Bad analogy. Nannies are not parents.[/quote]
That all depends on how you define parents. Same biological genes or the person who best knows the child. Lol.[/quote]
