This thread is about texting on the job and whether or not that is a distraction. Stay on topic.

What makes you think that you or anyone else, should get better than what you pay for? Hired childcare is not exempt from market reality inspite of your wishes. If it's the common norm for your sitter to hang on her phone all day, and you pay her 15-17/hr, you get what you pay for.

If you pay beyond these norms for exceptional service, that's what you'll get. Obviously, due diligence required in the hiring process. When you pay your 25/hr., Nanny knows that those jobs aren't a dime a dozen, so she's motivated to produce exceptional performance to match her exceptional compensation package.

This thread is not about nanny rates. We get it. You want to say that paying market rates will get you an overly texting nanny, but paying far above market will automatically get you a non texting nanny.

Bullshit. You can't back that up. There is no correlation, anywhere, that supports such a idiotic idea.

Therefore, bringing up the idea of pay rates in a thread about bad nanny behavior is off topic and silly.

It also makes you look like a whiner. You wouldn't want that, would you? Clearly, you'd like to be perceived as a professional, if not a particularly nice, wise, or intelligent person, right?
