There are many, many situations in which people take a pay cut for a new job. Sometimes it's because the new job has fewer responsibilities than the prior job. Sometimes it's because the market is saturated with applicants and taking something with a pay cut is preferable to unemployment, unless, of course, someone else is paying your bills. Sometimes, it's as simple as someone wanting to move up in the ranks of their profession, perhaps reaching for a job more prestigious than the one they have, and choosing to take a pay cut to prove themselves worthy of the next level. Sometimes, the job they are seeking is just not market priced as the one they're leaving.
There are lots of reasons people take pay cuts and the nanny industry is not immune to those factors. In fact, the nanny industry is more likely to have divergent rates for particular jobs.
So, nice try, but you clearly understand very little about employment, and, particularly alarming, your own industry.
You clearly should learn to read. I said, no one takes a pay cut JUST because there's a new job. Of course there are job differences which can easily warrant less pay, but NEW job isn't one of them. Now go away.
Are you a member of NCT?
No time for nonsense. Sorry. You? Perhaps that reading improvement training would be more useful to you.
Great. Your confirmation was all I needed. Thanks.
Reading is fundamental. Learn it.

No, no one takes a pay cut just because it's a new job. Not even nannies. But nice try.

I have a friend who had this attitude.
She was in a 24 hour job for almost 4 years and was making a lot money (over 100k a year). First of all because it was a 24 hour position but also because she had gotten several raises over the years.
So that job ends and she had the attitude that she was absolutlely not going to accept a job for less money because with her experience she is worth it. Guess what? She was unemployed for almost 3 years! Then when she finally got a job it was with one of the craziest families I've ever heard of.
Along the way she turned down several jobs paying around 80k a year because she was holding out for the same salary she was making before.

I'm a nanny now but wasn't always. OP, when you reach the top of the market you will have fewer choices for jobs and will either be waiting months to find another high-paying job or taking a pay cut for what's currently available. This is true in almost every industry because every job/profession has an unofficial cap beyond which most people simply cannot earn. It isn't disrespectful to offer a new nanny a rate commensurate with her qualifications WHILE keeping in mind the need for bonuses and raises down the line, even if it's less than she made caring for the Jones' 6 kids, nor is it unprofessional to recognize this fact and accept a temporary decrease knowing you'll earn, with annual raises, your old rate again someday.

Newsflash... you are only worth what someone is willing to pay you. My husband is a gov't contractor and contracts change and get reorganized all the time. He's taken some huge pay cuts and his income goes up and down depending on what the market demands. Just because another person pays their nanny $29 and that nanny is comfortable, does not mean that we are willing to pay our nanny that much as there are so many factors involved in the decision for pay.

OP sounds obnoxious and not worth a low rate let alone a higher than market rate.
We interviewed several nannies who started out asking for their current rate which was higher than the market. We declined and told them we would love to hire them but for the lower amount that we were offering. Every single one came back and said they were still interested in the job. I wouldn't just walk away from a nanny asking for a higher rate and would always recommend giving a counter offer. She'll probably accept or if she really doesn't want the job would politely decline.
