[quote=Anonymous]I'm tired of the whole you get what you pay for and you will have a better nanny if she doesn't have to struggle arguments.  
  Nannies are not this special group of citizens who should be getting paid boatloads of money when the majority of them are people that have no business being around children. 
  Early in my nanny career, I struggled. But you know what, most people struggle when they get their first jobs. I was working 55 hours a week and doing weeknight and weekend babysitting jobs. I did what it took to make the money I needed.  I didn't ask my employers to pay me more money until I had proven myself and then I got yearly raises. 
  Eventually, I started working for new families who paid me more because I had experience and had taken classes and went to seminars to gain new skills. 
  You go into certain careers and jobs knowing you are never going to get rich doing them and being a nanny is one of them.  Yes, there some families who pay great salaries, but they are not the majority and most new nannies are not going to get those jobs. 
  Everyone needs to learn to live within their means and if that isn't working for you, then find a new family to work for, get a second job, read books on development or take classes to increase your earning potential.
