[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 10 years having nannies we have never paid (or been asked to pay) for the commute. Some of nannies have had 1+ hour commute given dc traffic.

She knew those costs when she interviewed with you.

Presumably you paid a decent living wage. 
Where do you think $17/hr is enough to afford rent for an adult woman in the DC area today?

And I'm not talking about couch surfing.[/quote]

That's not the employer's problem nor is that how job's work.  
I don't get to tell someone what they need to pay me so I can live the life I want, they present me with a compensation package and I adjust my life to live on it (or get a different job). There is no obligation for an employer to over pay just because you feel entitled to a certain life. [/quote]

No, but I will give my rate to take the position based on a few things, location being one. You can choose to hire me or someone cheaper, no hard feelings. And I don't even get into discussions with families below my pay scale, or I mention that my rates are above their listed range. As an employer, I understand that you have a budget an a I might be outside of that, but don't you want to see a variety of candidates with a variety of experience before making your decision?  Maybe I'm $3 more per hour and maybe you won't see the benefit to cost ratio as being worth it, but maybe you will. [/quote]
