If a nanny can sleep on the job, than no more than $18/hr. |
Um, have you ever been a night nanny? Do you have any experience with them at all? $18/hr for a night nanny will get you the bottom of the barrel if even that... |
This. |
Well, no. If the nanny is simply a night nanny and not a night nurse, then $25/hr is way too high.
Does she get to sleep between feedings? It's only for six hours? Is she only feeding or giving specialized meds? If she is just a night nanny, $18-20/hr, tops, for one child. |
You can certainly charge anything you want. |
We currently have a night nanny for our newborn twins 3 nts/wk. she washes bottles and sometimes pump parts but does little else. I don't think she sleeps. We hired her through an agency, 9 hrs/nt, $28/hr. Hush Little Baby is the agency |
$28/hour. Got it? |
My friend was a night nanny in New Jersey (outside Rutgers) and charge $25/hr. She would clean bottles/tidy up some things, but otherwise she was welcome to nap on their futon, watch TV, or do homework until the baby woke up, which she said was every 2-3 hours. She also got up with baby in the morning and fed her/changed her etc.
SIL is a ped. nurse in the MetroWest area of Boston. She works as a night nurse for a baby with medical needs (O2, meds, and another monitoring machine) and makes $35 an hour. She however does not sleep as she is usually monitoring the baby or preparing things for the parents. |
If she can sleep, she legally does NOT need to be paid for those hours. We have a 24hr nanny, and we don't pay her for 8hrs because she can usually sleep those hours, unless our baby wakes up. But he only usually wakes up for a few minutes to take a bottle. We pay our nanny $20 an hour for 16 hrs a day. The great thing, it's legal! |
Outsourced parenting at its finest. |
![]() Your poor kid/nanny. |
Why poor kid/nanny? $20 is an excellent wage for one child. If its Monday- Friday, Nanny is pulling in over 100k!!! Nanny probably is sleeping very comfortably making that wage. Kid is should also be happy having taking great care of them 24hrs a day! And it's not MB's problem that the law says its perfectly legal not to pay for 8hrs of sleeping time. |
Poor kid - being raised by a 24hr nanny. Kids need their parents, and if you're not even bonding with your baby during that 3am feeding, yeah, I'm going to feel sorry for him/her. Poor nanny - not being paid for 8 hours even though the baby "sometimes wakes her up but only for a bottle." You want me to wake up in the middle of my night and feed a baby? I'm charging hourly for that. Total BS. |
Lmao. I knew a weirdo would come on here and lie about the rates. I will never understand the fibbing. |
$28/hour LOL.. good one.. OP no need to go over $20/hour. You'll find great care. |
