[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$12?[/quote] not the PP but that’s for live in. That’s $480 for a 40 hour week. No rent/utilities to pay. [/quote]

Its illegal to deduct room and board from live in nannies[/quote]

No it’s not ! As long as you are paying them the minimum hourly wage in your state. VA has a minimum hourly wage or $12/ hour , so assuming OP lives in VA, they are not doing anything illegal . Keep in mind they are also providing full room and board for the nanny, which pretty much leaves the nanny with a discretionary spending of $2000 a month. How many blue collar workers do you know who have $2000 left over after paying rent, utilities and groceries every month?[/quote]

The nanny might have a car payment, car insurance payments, health insurance costs, cell phone bills, grocery bills, clothing costs, personal care costs, etc. It’s not “discretionary spending” if it all goes to pay bills and provide for needs.

And it actually is illegal to withhold wages to cover “rent and board” if you value those things at more than about $135 a week. [/quote]

I can’t tell if you’re trolling, dumb, or just trying to jack up the market rate for live ins. No one is withholding wages to cover room and board. The job offer is legal minimum wage (or whatever) and one perk that a candidate might consider and value is that it comes with a free place to live. Just like some nonprofit jobs pay less than private sector, but people take the positions because they come with the added benefit of prestige or connections.

Anyway, do others with live in nannies pay minimum wage as well? Trying to get a handle on the market rate for this position.  [/quote]
