For example, if you want a bilingual nanny who will teach your children a second language, you may want to offer a higher rate.

(Ignore the nanny who claims she makes $25/hr for one child. She likes to post that on every thread, but it doesn't make it true. That rate would be very, very high in DC and very, very rare. If she is for real, then she either works for some ignorant parents who didn't do their research, or she is a house manager with many additional duties.)

She'll surely post about how real she is quickly enough that one wonders if she's employed at all.

No one here cares how disgruntled you feel about what I earn. I know a nanny who earns double my $25/hr. I'm happy for her. She deserves it.

Top-notch nannies earn top-notch wages. That's how it usually works in the private sector.

All nanny jobs are in the "private sector". You are talking out of your ass and I doubt you are even a nanny, let alone one paid $25 and hour for your "top-notch" performance.
