Yes, this is five years old, so nanny rates can now be $35/hr for the best ones.


HA HA HA.

I bet those nannies are laughing all the way to the bank. Nice.

All nannies do not do housework to whomever said that. I was a nanny for years and I didn' t do housework. The parents said I could study, or relax , read etc while baby napped. They had a house keeper. I did do the dishwasher once a day and through in some of the child's laundry if needed but mostly no . I am there to take care of your child and make sure they are safe and happy that is all. I am not a housekeeper, dog walker, errand runner, etc.

Nannies are usually there all day or at least 4 or more hours.
Babysitters come and go with less hours. I have been both a nanny and a sitter.

I charge by child's age and how many. Some children ( depending on age ) take more to entertain them than other ages, and teaching them, driving them etc.

Oh and IF I'm am USING MY OWN CAR, You should PAY ME FOR GAS$$$$. This is why I charge more because I usually have to drive children in my own car and hourly pay includes gas $$$ If I don't have to drive anywhere like a date night sitter then I usually charge less.

Please stop resurrecting this old thread! Nobody is going to change their mind by reading arguments on DCUM.

Nanny's are generally there at the home for longer periods of time. Babysitters are shorter time and not as often. That is the difference. Most Nanny's work 3 -5 days for 30-40 hours a week and babysitters are less.

A babysitter just fucks up everything what nanny does. Parents and sitters likes to spoil the kids.

Nice. No nanny should even try to do all the things that parents might do in their home. A nanny should be expected to put the children's needs first, and not have to choose between cleaning up after the parents vs tending to the child's care and developmental needs.

Here we are.


I pay my nanny $12 an hour so there goes your theory.


You may pay your high school sitter $10/hr, and she's still a sitter.
