[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear "stupid MBs" poster, 
Everyone knows that securing less hours of a nanny results in a higher hourly rate and vice versa. USUALLY.

For example, an after school only position commands a higher RATE than a full-time 40-50 hour week position. USUALLY.

Also, your previous rate may indeed have NO BEARING on your next job or employer.  A family will post what they need and have their own budget, often consulting the market, friends and agencies. It is very rarely a string of never-ending rate increases.

Finally, short-term nannies that just job hop around every 12-18 months are not the majority of the market. There are many, many real nannies who grow and work with a family on the ever-changing duties, tasks, and schedules over time. 
Good luck. [/quote]

Stop the bull shit. In the reverse of this situation-nanny works 50 hours, her hours are being reduced to 38 hours- does her rate get raised to compensate the loss of the hours/OT? You and I know damn well that the answer is a big fat NO. To your last point, you who are not a nanny, and have likely only hired one or two, are not actually an authority on what a "real nanny" is. A "real" nanny knows what she is worth and knows better than to let some spoiled MB convince her to lower herself for the MBs benefit.  [/quote]

Totally disagree. I'm a mb who agrees with at least discussing a lower base rate, maintaining or even increasing the average rate. If someone were doing the reverse, cutting hours and eliminating OT, they absolutely should base the new rate on the average, not base rate.[/quote]

Except we know that wouldn't actually happen. The nanny would be forced to accept a "new" job at the same rate but less hours, as the lovely and fair MBs on this site like to say. "You aren't lowering her rate! You're offering a new different job!" Seriously, in what world is this okay? If your bosses pulled this shit you would raise hell. But a nanny is a lesser human being, not worthy of fairness or the protection of the law...[/quote]
