I always respond with a polite decline and never mention why, of course. But I’m curious why they would even contact me.

Nanny; They probably think it is a TYPO to be honest. I have had many parents do the same thing to me, and let them know I am worth EVERY penny. Cheap Parents make me sick to my stomach.

Doubtful. When an hourly quote is $25 to $30 you don’t send the nanny a job posting for $15 to $20. I have no clue what employers who do that are thinking.

Then again, I have no clue why nannies respond to adds that specify the need for a college degree when they haven’t got one. I can’t tell you how many nannies responded to our ad a few years ago without college degrees and then seemed surprised when I mentioned it.
