Nanny rate?

[Anonymous]

You people are so cheap , that is why you end up to hire a non qualified nanny then you start to complain.

Is it diplomat dependent visa? Then she is not obligated to pay payroll taxes, and depending on a country a treaty might apply so she won't pay income taxes, so basically all the money is take home pay. If you are able to afford to pay more, you should offer that, but I can see how she might have lower expectations.

Not true. Diplomat dependents who work for private employers have full tax liability. Only income paid by foreign governments is protected.

I interviewed for a mom who had 3 kids and wanted a nanny for 50 hours a week and was only going to pay $10 per hour. I'm a college-educated nanny and that kind of pay is insulting. At a minimium it should be $15 per hour, but number of kids and hours worked are also something to consider.
