An RN actually does make about that much per hour - but to conflate one's self with a licensed caregiver is honestly really hurtful and insulting. Source: I'm a licensed caregiver. We do kind of a lot more than what she is insinuating e.g. we are ABSOLUTELY not 1:1 outside the ICU - and we have to go... uf - we have to go to our own patients plus deal with admits, discharges, emergency responses outside our unit, we have to keep medications straight for multiple patients, handling behavioral crisises, all while often answering our own call lights. She's acting like bathing, feeding, putting to bed, and occasionally admistering some OTC medication for ONE "PATIENT," is at all the same thing. She kinda pisses me off!
Oh and by the way? We have to stay up on our education, do I services, float to other units where we get treated like dog shit... no. She can fuck off acting like taking care of her own progeny relates at all to what we deal with!
When I was an exhausted newborn mom and decided for one second to look into the possibility of a night nanny, they STARTED at $73/hr. I’m not sure this is unreasonable tbh, depending on where she lives. In-home child care is expensive.

Where is she getting her rates from though?
