[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"people who are outside of the DC area not having any valid input on rates for the DC area"

yes, I made that point. And I would be happy to hear why in the world an LA rate has an bearing on a DC area rate. It does not. While the focus of the initial thread was not DC specific, I was replying to an earlier poster who asked "why is it so hard for DC nannies to believe people elsewhere earn more". My point was that it's just irrelevant to post your rate in LA unless someone is asking about LA. A majority of posters here are still in the DC area (and when they are not it will become a pointless waste of a board since 1/2 its purpose - compensation questions - will be gone) and so if they ask "what's a good rate for a live-in 40 hr a week nanny" and you post "I live in LA and earn $30/hr".....that is just not at all relevant.[/quote]

Ok, I understand where you are trying to go with that. But if the person YOU responded to had said only "why is it hard for DC nannies to believe people elsewhere earn more", then your answer still doesn't apply to that. We all get that if someone is asking how much to pay a nanny in the DC area, that saying they get paid $30 in LA is not helpful. That is why I made the suggestion that if you really want to stay away from that, don't have those discussions in the General section but in the specific regional section that applies for your area. The question WAS that why do people in the area think that in OTHER discussions about rates in general (country wide), that higher rates like the $30/hr in LA just don't exist? Which is a valid question for those that simply do not believe that these positions exist in other areas.

Maybe some people are having a hard time understanding what a "general" question is and the right places to post other questions in. That was the reason for creating the sub-sections, so that everything WOULDN'T be all just grouped together and unorganized.[/quote]
