Wondering if any other child care providers or professionals are treated this way?
I’m a registered nanny with many years of experience in a variety of settings, DBS checked, first aid trained, insured to work in people’s homes and carry children in my car. I pay a lot of money to have these checks and qualifications each year. I like to think I provide an excellent child care service and I thoroughly enjoy my job. I charge £10 an hour for my services.
I frequently come across parents who not only want to pay peanuts for child care but actually have the cheek to make comments about my rates.
AIBU to think this is extremely rude?! I always see threads about cleaners who charge to much etc. Fair enough if people don’t want to pay these rates but why do they feel the need to put people down and question how much they charge?
I recently had a lady contact me and brazenly say on the phone “why do you charge so much I don’t understand”. If you can’t afford a nanny or simply don’t want to pay then don’t have one!
Hmmm sorry just needed to vent, when did people become so rude?!!!
