OP, what agency charged you $80? That is definitely not typical.

A family posted an ad in the preschool forum. You may want to check it out before Jeff deletes it.

Okay, thank you.

Unfortunately, OP, you don't have very good qualifications and you have a short job history. You won't be able to make $20/hr for one kid in DC. Maybe $17/hr, but that's about it.

Nannies, please stop dreaming. $25 ?? $20/hr is the minimum in the DC area??? Are you kidding?
I understand your effort to change the market rate but try to be realistic.
Honey, it's no dream. My qualifications are less than hers, and get a minimum of $25 / hr. for just one kid. You're completely clueless!
Don't honey me. You are very lucky then. If you are telling the truth. Most parents in DC are not willing to pay $25 for just one kid.

Not with her qualifications. $18-19 is more realistic.

What do they promise you for your $80.00?

You sound great to me OP.
I say, keep the faith!
There are a lot of cheap families out there and I know they are unfortunately in the majority, esp. on those websites you mentioned.
Stick to your guns and keep looking.
It may take time, but it will be well worth it in the end.
Never accept less than what you know you are worth!!
