[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting ... the San Diego nanny with the $23/hr salary is thinking of leaving her job b/c of no bonus, while the Orange County nanny who makes $15-$16/hr is "very happy" with her $1000 bonus.

SD nanny makes almost $41,000/yr for 34 hours a week.
OC nanny makes, at most, before taxes, $33,300/yr. We'll add the $1000 to that.

SD nanny makes $7000 a year more, for almost one day less work each week, and yet may quit over this bonus.

This is not a rare sentiment on this board. As a MB, the message I keep getting from nannies here is to offer a low starting salary, because nannies value raises and bonuses more than earning more money altogether.[/quote]

The San Diego nanny works [i]23 hours per week[/i], she doesn't make that much per week so you have that wrong in numbers.[/quote]

[b]You all need a geography lesson.    That nanny ($23/hr) is from Santa Barbara--not San Diego.   They are over 200 miles apart[/b].[/quote]

Thank you! Santa Barbara and San Diego are very different nanny markets.  [/quote]

You are right that I got the Santa Barbara part wrong. This, however, is a direct quote from her post: "Weekly salary - 34 hours at $23/hour."
I also don't think the market is much different between SD and SB, though may be cheaper in OC.[/quote]

Actually, SD would probably be the cheaper nanny market out of all 3 due to the shear size of SD and diversity. It's distance from other nanny markets, makes it a closed market.  OC and SB are probably around the same depending on where in OC you are working. However OC is close enough to LA that you could tech commute or move a bit closer for the right job. SB is a very condensed location of the top 1% but it's a smaller area and therefor less people than either SD or OC, and there are a lot of 45+ in SB area which means less kids. [/quote]
