[quote=Anonymous]^^Don't you think it's kind of a crazy indication of the sad state of affairs in this country, that a grown woman who chooses to make her living carrying out the care of our nation's (wealthiest) children is considered to have too luxurious of standards to expect to be able to live in a simple 1 bedroom apartment with a full time job?

This country will continue on its downward spiral until we reassertion the values we once held so dearly. We once believed that people who worked hard for an honest living should be able to be able to live a decent lifestyle. We once valued families, and children, and we respected the people who cared for and shaped future generations. What the hell happened that no one gives a f*ck about teachers and caregivers?

From a selfish point of view, I genuinely believe that paying your nanny only enough to scrape by is doing your family a true disservice. The nanny who is scraping by, living with a bunch of roommates, driving the beater, avoiding the doctor, hungry, and burnt out because she can never have fun, because she can't afford it or doesn't have time after her 50 hour workweek, evening sitting, and weekend gig, IS NOT going to be an excellent nanny.

If every day is a physical mental and financial struggle you have nothing left to give to a stupid job. And that is exactly what your child becomes when she is scraping by. She will become burnt out because nannies the "ceiling" for nanny salaries are incredibly low, and every new MB expects to start you at the bottom again. They *need* a nanny, but she doesn't *need* a safe apartment or privacy. [/quote]
