I just signed a contract for $800/week. 40 hours, all food (anything I want, within reason), access to the pool and exercise equipment at the house, full use of a vehicle whenever I want (I have enough sense not to do long road trips, but the family doesn’t seem to mind), $300/month health insurance, $50/month phone, $500 per quarter for any educational or career course (online conferences too!) I want to do, etc. I’m restricted to outside activities if I leave the house, and must be masked and 6+ feet from any other people. To me? Homeschooling three school age children, with multi-year longevity to this position is completely worth it. It would not be worth it (to me) without the benefits and longevity.

I would not pay this for a live in. We had a live out nanny for $20/hr, paid for her gas, and she could eat whatever she wanted in our house. No way am I paying MORE than that if I'm also providing housing, utilities, etc.

I have the education and experience to homeschool three children. You may not need that, but this family does.

I’m the PP and you are right and I apologize. I missed the part that you are homeschooling 3 kids, and your contract does seem adequate for that. Sorry again. For the OP though, if he/she doesn’t need homeschooling or have that many kids, your employment terms still might not be realistic for him/her.

Anonymous wrote:This is OP. I have one child. I need 35 hours per week of care. I thought this would be LESS expensive because I am also offering housing but not if it’s $800 per week and I buy groceries. If anyone else has input, please chime in.

If it matters, I am offering for us to live in a vacation destination for a few months but the plan would be for us to stay on the property as much as possible. There is a pool and hiking on the property though. So it’s a nice place to go spend time during covid, if I find the right person who wants to get away from it all. And of course also get paid for working hours.
