Constant sick days, showing up late, and wanting to leave early for simple things like going to the bank just don't work long-term. It makes me really appreciate the good nannies we've had.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I see wrong is the low pay. However, other than basic childcare, it doesn't sound like she needs much. I ask for a lot more and am very involved in my son's life, so I expect to pay more for someone who can really respond to our needs in childcare.<BR/><BR/>*You need to pick a moniker. And #1 is just funny and crazy! It doesn't always have to be about bad pay.I love cl-wtf!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-45156884035729750302009-03-31T18:45:00.000-04:002009-03-31T18:45:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-53944343665287871702009-03-26T02:24:00.000-04:002009-03-26T02:24:00.000-04:00People don't think the economy is bad for nannies ...People don't think the economy is bad for nannies too?

I sympathize with the broke and desperate people, but if they can not afford a nanny, they should not try to swindle us, nannies, to work for $2/hour. There are government programs and cheap daycare options.

Maybe I should haggle with the Spa owner or Lambo dealer because the economy sucks? <BR/><BR/>Or maybe I should ask for half of the car, maybe without brakes, heat/AC, airbags or a radio.

What I see mostly is a lot of broke desperate people looking for childcare, or trying to make a living by offering it. You do realize that not everyone can afford nannies, right? And the links to that myspace page -- what's the point in that?<BR/><BR/>I think the mother with the 4-month old baby was implying that she "spoils" him, and expects a caregiver to do the same.
