OT: ^^ bro, either it's $10, $12, $20 or $5 per hour, it really doesn't matter. it won't be a fair comparison to what nanny's back home are earning. even if we use your location's hourly rate for babysitters, which is $5 per hour, times 8 hours a day it would still come up $40 A DAY. when converted to Peso, it's still much higher than the monthly average that nanny's take home a month, let's say P2000. I guess it's just her explanation of how unfair we in the Philippines pay our "katabang". it's given, in the U.S., the harder your job, the bigger the scope of your work, the bigger the compensation, most often than not.
Nanny's ought to be earning more than P2,000? How can a household help that does the hardest job in the whole world be earning P2,000? Babysitters here earn $10-$12/hour, mas daku pa ug sweldo sa receptionist nga tag $8/hour ang starting salary. Mo na panggaa gyud na ninyo ang yaya sa inyong anak kay dili gyud malalim ilang trabaho.
