I am not an angry troll.  I believe in Nanny care, but I don't believe in paying such a high price for your services. The problem is the majority of the posts are from Nannies and NOT parents.  There is gross price manipulation based on the fear that paying less equates to poor service. That is wrong.

[quote=Anonymous]Don't feed this troll that keeps quoting and then weirdly putting its new message at the top. It appears to be an angry troll.[/quote][/quote]

Sorry try again. I’m a MB, not a nanny. Also, you have identified yourself as a lawyer. My informal polling of other moms at my firm revealed that most of us are paying $18-20/hour base rate. Are you even in the DC area?[/quote]

I'm a MB, and your informal polls are spot on. 8 years ago, when I first started hiring, rates were more like $15-$18/hr.. So, there has been some upward pressure in the nanny market. But most non-shares are not at $25+.[/quote]

25.00 an HOUR! Wow, in DC I am getting the same services for about 15.00.  Ultimately, the barrier of entry to become a nanny just isn't there. Heck, I could even become one!  This barrier of entry is so low, that nannies log into these boards to scare parents into paying more.
