I agree with this line of thinking completely for any hiring where the quality of the job is important. Programming? Yes. Nanny for my children? Yes. Washing my car? Shrug. And yes, for the short period I had a nanny for my son, she was paid very well (well above "market"). And now that my dad is watching my son full time, I pay him even more. I don't understand the people who balk at paying $100 a week for childcare. Yes, it's expensive (although a lot cheaper than a nanny, by the way), but it's your child! Geez...

How in the world can someone get away with paying $100/week for childcare? I couldn't find that price (as a buyer) even in smalltown Kansas early this year.

  Got a couple of friends with kids here in South Australia and they pay $70 a day (USD and AUD currently almost on par) for pretty standard child care. I think they'd be quite excited were $100/wk an option!
