I will likely get roasted for this but I’m interested in others’ thoughts. All the threads on nanny pay on various groups are constantly moaning about how parents don’t appreciate that nannies need to be paid X amount, etc etc and that employers are being well paid. Firstly no we are not. Most salaries in the corporate world have not caught up with inflation. Most people (employers of nannies) have not had a raise in years. I feel that nannies need to take some responsibility for the fact that they have chosen a career path where most employers are a mother and a father - not a huge corporation with deep pockets. In the same way that a lawyer may accept that if they work in a high street firm as opposed to a major firm their salary will be lower as the people paying the fees are normal people I feel that nannies need to take responsibility for the path they have chosen. All this woe is me. Own it. Rant over. I do actually think that nannies should be paid fairly BUT to make out that nice employers are monsters for negotiating the pay is irritating me.
