[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody gets more per hour just because there are less hours. Another lie made up by nannies. I would never, and have never, paid more just because I needed less than 20 hours of care.[/quote]

This is not a lie. I get paid $20-25/hr to pick up a kid and do NO housekeeping, when it might be from 1-3 hours per day, yet if I were to take on the same position that had 20+ hours per week, the pay would probably start around $15-18/hr. Many parents realize that to ask someone to give up a couple of hours during the day, in the middle of the afternoon, which would make it nearly impossible to find another position for that afternoon/evening that could work with those hours, that they need to pay more for it. 3-6pm, means giving up anything that could start at noon, makes anything where someone would want something from 5/6pm-9pm out of the question and wouldn't work with other PT jobs that are not childcare. If you want me to work for just 3 hours that whole afternoon, I need more money to make it cost effective for myself. Most people do. They also realize that others pay a higher premium, and if they want a good nanny, they will need to offer it as well or else the nanny will say no to their position and take a different higher paying one instead.[/quote]
