so if you want your nanny to stay longer pay and treat her well.
This is very good advice for most parents on this forum.
Agree.

Sorry but the supply of people looking for nanny jobs high!

Revolving nanny door.
Newest parenting technique.
It isn't a revolving nanny door if the candidate isn't offered the job because her rates are too high. $25/hr for a preschooler is way too high, especially for a P/T position.
FYI, PT positions command a higher hourly rate, not lower, Einstein.

There aren't that many good nannies. If there were, there wouldn't be so many parents complaining on this forum.
Don't be stupid, OP.

Is this an after preschool position where she will need to pick up your daughter?
If so $25 isn't that unusual.
I would counter somehwere in the middle maybe $20.

That seems high but it depends on the nanny, how much you like her, etc. Nannies aren't widgets, and some can certainly command $25/hour and some can't. You have to decide.

Only money matters? You sound like the nanny candidate OP was posting about.
She's a MB, not a Nanny.
No, she isn't. She'd like you to think that, but she isn't an MB.

I interviewed a candidate whom I really liked but when I told her I was hoping to pay $18/hr, she asked for $25/hr. This is for a very part-time position (like 10 hrs/week) but she currently has another P/T job and our job would fit into her schedule. $25 seems like a lot for one preschooler, no?
That would be very high. Perhaps she thinks you'll pay it or perhaps she wants to negotiate her rate and wanted to be clear that you can't counter with $14/hr. Either way, you shouldn't anticipate needing to pay that much unless your needs are extreme and specific.
+1. $25 for one child is very high. I think you should hold the line at $18/hr. That is a great rate for a P/T position.
I disagree. The best nannies do get $25. an hour for one child.
