[quote=Anonymous]We are friends with several families who are first generation Americans. They all paid their nannies around minimum wage or maybe $1 or $2 more. They were highly educated but more focused on saving for college and supporting other family members than paying extra for a nanny. They also were far more comfortable hiring someone with more basic english skills as they themselves once didn't know english. My $17/hr nanny was honestly no better than their $8-$10 an hour nanny other than English fluency. In fact, their nannies had a much better work ethic while mine certainly had an interest in entertaining herself and not doing housework. In hindsight, I really did waste $7 an hour a year which adds up to 18K before even factoring in the $100 a week for a housekeeper since my nanny enjoyed her down time during naps. If I had it to do over again, I would hire a $10 nanny with a good work ethic and work through the language issues. [/quote]
