[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]everyone who thinks it's ethical to pay someone $7.25/hour should try supporting their own family on minimum wage (before taxes). let's see how quickly they change their tune. if you can't afford a nanny and won't deign to put your child in daycare, then stay home or stay childless. your children are not god's gift to the earth, and if you want someone else to raise them for a living you better make sure it IS a living.

23.59 (again).  OP is specifically looking for a live-in nanny, so the nanny isn’t going to be supporting a family here, and if she is sending money overseas to family at home?  $7.25 USD goes a heck of lot farther there than here.

Most professional nannies wouldn’t be interested.  But if OP is willing to take a recent immigrant with little to no English, a college student or someone with zero childcare experience?  There are people who would jump for this position.  Factor in that it’s paid legally, and it’s $7.25/hour AFTER taxes?  It’s a decent starting job for someone.[/quote]

It’s so sad that you sit here jusifying this position bc someone desperately in need of work would have to “jump” at this position. And actually if it’s paid legally it’s more like $5-$6 an hour. No, this is not a decent starting job. It is a slap in the face and shows the nature of many people who want cheap labor. You keep defending this entitled “MB” bc it shows your character as well.

It's after taxes...  That means that gross is closer to $8 than $6.  And I took cheap positions when I had no experience and people didn't want to talk to me without references.  For a live-in position?  It's fine, not great, but fine.[/quote]

Would you say that to your child who wanted to be a domestic? Be honest.[/quote]

For a first position?  No prior references, stay with the family for a year, then have a great reference?  No problem![/quote]
