See how it works? You're getting over on her with your cheap wages, and she's getting over you with her constant laziness.

The problem is that neither of you seem to care about your child. The nanny will move on, and you'll eventually reap the consequences of neglecting to provide/employ proper care for your child. Bargain priced anything is never high quality. High quality ALWAYS costs more, regardless of how hard you may stamp your feet in rage in response to that fact.

The nanny who agrees to wages she considers substandard, and proceeds to do substandard work, justifying it in her mind by substandard pay, is not outstanding.

Outstanding nannies, one would think, take their time to find families who pay their desired wages.

Most of us know that not all outstanding nannies are compensated according to their worth. They may accept a job until they get what they want. It's done in every profession in every field.

If you want to reduce your risk, you pay as well as you're able.

There is no objective rating of nannies, let alone outstanding nannies. No one puts a gun to a nanny's head to accept a job offer with a rate she doesn't like. There are no victims here. If someone accepts a job, they implicitly agree that they are worth "that much". Why take a job otherwise?

You can just as easily say that families may hire a nanny to tide them over until they find the one they REALLY like. Again, in the world of voluntary employment, there are no victims.

By your illogical thinking, we shouldn't have minimum wage laws, because if you someone takes your dollar an hour job, it must be because that's all they're worth.
The level of entitlement here is astounding. People like you deserve nothing.

This is bullshit on so many different levels. I'm a healthcare provider, I'm paid a salary to provide excellent care to everyone. I want more money and feel I deserve it, however, I do not provide piss poor care to others because I believe I am owed or entitled to more. People take pride in the work they do and want to do a good job in everything they do, that's how some are built. This sense of entitlement is just absurd, you EARN your accolades and those that notice will reward you accordingly. It may not be what YOU think you deserve or are entitled to, but it's not all about money it's taking pride in what you do and having a sense of accomplishment about the work that you do and helping others. FFS grow up.

For many struggling poor domestic workers, it IS actually about the MONEY. The employers who pay them the highest wages for their hard work, are the ones who reap the benefits. Welcome to THEIR world.

Incredible how often it works out that way, for office workers and domestic workers alike.
Compare the texting habits of the poorly paid assistant vs. the top paid manager. Let's guess who's getting less work done.
