[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I see, nanny housekeepers earn less, not more. They're more like mother's helpers who'll do a bit of everything, whatever mom wants, but they need lots of daily direction.[/quote]

No, the parent offers a lot of daily direction, whether the nanny/housekeeper needs or wants it.  I don't need to be shone how to clean a toilet in the children's room, yet I had an MB who felt she needed to show me twice and then watch me do it.  Sorry, but her way was less sanitary, so I showed her my way, took the same amount of time, less mess and fewer germs leftover for next time.  And yes, they're typically paid more, because the parents are the ones who want "to get their money's worth," rather than having someone concentrate on the kids.[/quote]

^^paid less to do more[/quote]

Exactly. They "get their monies worth" by getting more work out of the same salary, I don't know how the PP equated getting monies worth to paying them more money... must be smoking something.[/quote]

I corrected myself, fingers were too slow to keep up with the brain...  I meant to type paid less to do more in the paragraph.[/quote]
