They know nannies need to make a living too and daycare always an option for those who can't afford it. Good luck out there.

yeah, good luck with that strategy demanding 10-30% over market!

Babysitters are a dime a dozen. Be happy, you fool.

Non merci. I don't need to beg anyone for chump change my dear. I left nannying behind (encourage others to do same) a long time ago to pursue my education. I am on my way to high wages and starting my own business in about 2 years. childcare is very low paying, endless dead ends, and not much appreciation. I am on this website basically to encourage nannies to get out of there and look for opportunities somewhere else. The end.

Then don’t respond if you don’t get it.

Doesn’t work that way. This forum is for opinions, advice and questions.

Why bring back such an old thread?!

So you basically like to complain and nag.

+1 The negativity is because it's DCUM - didn't you know that all nannies are unappreciated and underpaid?

Didn't you know because of MB like you this site is going down.

What!?! NP here. It is because of all the unnecessarily nasty comments (like yours) that this site can be frustrating.

I hope this family is making it worth it for you in some other way since pay is not up to par (especially considering you were severely underpaid before your your 45% increase. your employers sounds like sly foxes!)

Agree with this.

Exactly. I've noticed the reduced traffic.
