[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]

Lemme guess, a "real" nanny curses all the time like you.

And yes, if you reduce someone's hours to afternoon only or less days per week you do typically pay them a higher rate than when they had tons of hours. [/quote]

Well you SHOULD increase her hourly rate if her hours are cut, but I think most of us nannies would be able to tell you that is not at all standard and cannot be expected; most families expect you to charge the same hourly rate and be just as available and flexible as when you worked FT, only paid less.[/quote]
