I see this on here all the time and it baffles me! I have a profile on there but rarely check it because it seems like every parent on there is looking to pay $5-$10 per hour or some silly low ball weekly amount for a nanny/housekeeper for like 11 hour days. Care.com is pretty useless if you ask me, and I would think the pickings of good nannies are slim since most jobs listed there are a waste of time.

Unfortunately, lots of parents try to snag top-notch nannies with a promise of "competitive pay", only to find out that they really can't afford you. Very few parents want to pay what it takes to get the best.
When you put the word out, you should somehow indicate how you're eager provide top-notch compensation for that rare top-notch nanny.
Remember she should be a master of her profession, not a Jane-of-all-trades. So stay clear of expecting inappropriate tasks.
