[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What I find interesting is that the nannies can not seem to give any helpful advice specifically related to what would be best for the kids. Immediately the responses go to "what are you paying?!" Or "that's hardly worth MY time!"

If you would choose not to take a job that requires spending some (paid) time with the kids and parents first, that is absolutely your right not to. But there are people who are happy to do it. The question was not would YOU be willing to do zyz, it was what is the best way of going about this? It's really disturbing how little regard some nannies here have for the children's welfare. This sort of attitude makes me even more weary of who I will trust with my kids[/quote]

The nannies here don't care about anything other than the money. They also seem to think they can command whatever rate they want. Whatever. Everyone who lives in the real world knows better.[/quote]

Well, in a way, we can. If every sitter refused to work for less than $15/hr, then the parents would be forced to pay at least $15/hr if they wanted a sitter, right? Some just need the money and are willing to work for $10-13/hr for their evening hours because their personal time obviously doesn't have much value to them. Mine does, and so for me to give up my personal time (especially if I have been not just working all week long, but working with KIDS all week long), then I want to be earning a certain rate to make it worth my time. Some nights, $50 for 3 hours is just not worth it if I would rather stay home and rest because I had a slightly more difficult and tiring week.[/quote]
