In fact, my DD absolutely loves one particular nanny and we use her regularly.
WHN charges us $35 each time we use her. We pay her directly at $20/hr. Of all the nannies we have hired from WHN, she has actually been the lowest hourly cost.
We used someone else for a while at $25/hr but then she raised her rates to $28/hr which I thought was too high - especially for one child. And that was in addition to the WHN fee.
Good that she gets $28/hr.

I suspect it is because, with 50 years of experience taking care of children, I have definite opinions about childcare which I am not afraid to express. I also charge more than the average.
My advice: Don't rely on any agency for work you can do yourself. Good luck!

If she charges $28/hr., it's good that some nannies are highly valued for their skills.
Except that the PP isn't using her anymore, so her skills really aren't that valued.
How do you know who may value her skills? Jealous much?
Huh? Jealous of what? That she lost a client over $3/hr?
