[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about economics.  What does the market support for a given profession, in a given area.

If you can't make the money you need/want to maintain your lifestyle as a nanny then the market is giving you an answer.

If you can't afford to hire the level of experience and professionalism you want then the market is telling you that you can't afford a nanny.

It isn't the fault of the nanny if a prospective employer can't afford her.  She shouldn't reduce her rates because of someone else's economic limitations.

It isn't the fault of the employer if multiple qualified candidates are available at the rate being offered, but that rate doesn't support one prospective nanny's lifestyle.

If you need more money negotiate with your current employer, get a new job, take on additional extra hours somewhere, or cut back on your living expenses.

This is life.  It isn't always fair.  It doesn't get handed to you on a silver platter.  It is no one else's job to make your life easy.

Yikes. You sound like a hardened parent, who cares nothing of her child's need for stability of care. Good luck on your investment portfolio. Hope your dreams come true.
