Young sitters are more likely to obey you than a seasoned professional nanny. And a LOT cheaper too.

Funny how no two parents have identical standards, nor expectations.

More wealthy families can afford higher priced more "reasonable" nanny rates if they see the value in it. You can't.

The top career nannies who tend to earn that range have to meet tremendous expectations. They've proven themselves to be successful with their accomplishments.


Or they are mediocre, speak authoritatively, and have found some uninformed families thinking that is the real rate.

The $25 nanny jobs do exist, but the nannies who talk on here about job creep and trying to sway expectations to be as low as possible (no family dishes, no dogs, no cleaning, break time, "right to check personal email during work") are not ones who fit in a $25/hr job.

There is no "real rate." Each nanny sets her OWN rates. You're clueless here, Ms Creep.

Someone's status, legal or illegal, has no bearings on their qualifications. There's tons of qualified nannies who aren't documented. A U.S. passport is not a part of nanny qualifications.

Most parents don't consider illegal status people to be a qualified nanny. But you keep doing what you want. No one seems to care much anyways. Unless you apply to work in the White House some day.

Most parents do what works for them. Being legal for the job is different from being qualified for the job. Just having a US passport in no way qualifies you for being a nanny.

I just got hired for a position where they had an illegal nanny for 7 years ! So people, things are all based on someone's experience.

For a nanny job with 2 kids should get $30-50/hr, OP? A nanny job is typical a six figure gig in DC?
