[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all pay a higher rate for a nanny without a degree, or good English, but is very kind, and loving? If having a degree, speaking good English, experience, and professionalism do not warrant a higher rate, what does? It seems like what you're saying is that it doesn't matter what qualifications a nanny has, she only deserves $15/hr. in what other industry to education, special skills, and extensive experience count for nothing? You MBs are fooling yourselves. You simply can't or don't want to afford the best(educated, fluent english, special skills, experienced) and that's fine, but don't try to convince yourself that it wouldn't make a difference.

Actually, what a lot of us are saying is that we've found plenty of $15 per hour nannies who have a degree, speak good English, are kind and loving, act professionally, and have experience.  We've also found many $17-20 per hour nannies who don't have all those attributes, or even most of them.  That does not mean there aren't some really special nannies out there who are worth every bit of a $20+ per hour starting wage, but these women are the exceptions.  The point is that hourly rate requests in the nanny field do not accurately reflect q
uality or credentials, because they are frequently set by nannies who lack perspective on what they really have to offer.   [/quote]
The nannies who are earning $20.-30./hr. are obviously not the ones who "lack perspective" with regard to the value of their professional worth.[/quote]
