[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This forum is so trolled . All of my friends and I have nannies , in northern Virginia $22/hr for two kids is standard , and that includes tax deductions. The nurse who posted is correct a nanny who barely has any advanced degree does not deserve $28/hr that’s crazy !
A lot of well off parents in McLean etc are cuckolds that accept whatever rate a nanny proposes but please get your heads straight ![/quote]

OP never gave the hours.  It makes all the difference as most nannies work 50 hours a week.  Overtime brings the hourly rate down to about $23 an hour - for two children, this is far from outlandish.

And the nurse doesn’t even have a bachelors degree.  She is no one to talk. [/quote]

I'm the nurse.  I have a bachelor's degree in nursing. 
Georgetown and GW and WHC start nurses with bachelor's degrees at $55K.  With 10 years of experience (and a bachelor's degree) they pay around $75K. [/quote]

Please understand that some of the nannies here have BA degrees in Education and years of teaching experience.  Why should they be paid less than you?

Ummm...the whole life saving thing? An incompetent nurse can literally kill you. The stakes are higher in nursing. RNs are licensed, which adds another barrier to entry that's absent in nannying.  Don't misunderstand, I'm not putting down nannies, simply explaining my opinion on why nurses are paid higher. [/quote]

Ummm...an incompetent nanny can seriously harm and/or kill your child. The stakes of working in someone’s home, alone, with no one watching or proof of behavior are high. It’s apples and oranges. Don’t compare your job with another. Don’t compare your rate with another. Nannies set their own rate. [/quote]
