PP, if they pay you for 55 hours, that comes out to
$15 per hour. How many kids are you watching and how long have you been with them? I think you should have a higher hourly rate. |
| 31,200 DC area.. Too low to live on and am struggling from paycheck to paycheck. Work 40 hours a week with 1 toddler |
| This past year 2015 was 85,000 |
| 47k, Leesburg |
exactly like me. I couldn't live here on my own with my salary. My husband makes 115k and we are still struggling.(well..there is some debt involved but still...) |
| Base salary 46K, for 40 hours a week. In the Midwest. |
| Just over 40K gross. Work 40 hours per week with two under two in Portland OR |
| 50,500.00 I work at least 50 hours each week. I've been a nanny for 10 years and am sad to say but I think this will be my last year: |
I find it hard to believe that a family paying so little would give you a card offering an extra $500 a month. Why wouldn't they just pay you the extra $500? Or are you saying it's for using on the kids? |
| I make $40,000 as a nanny part time, both my charges are in school so I only work in the afternoons. I work another job in the mornings, not related to child care. |
1. The nanny may not use the whole amount every month, which is savings for them. 2. They probably don't declare that as part of her income, so everybody pays less tax than if she was paid an extra $5-6K per year. 3. She's part time. The kids are probably in school, and most likely the card was in lieu of a raise or another benefit (guessing, but I think it's an okay idea). |
| I MAKE $10 H IN MARYLAND WORK ONLY 40 H A WEEK . 19K A YEAR I AM A NANNY . WHAT SHOULD I DO? HOW DO YOU GUYS MAKE A LOT OF MANY BEING A NANNY? |
We're experienced, can offer suggestions during an interview to show our experience, and we have references. Some have bachelors, masters, or special needs training and/or experience. Some have training and/or experience for tutoring or teaching, alternative parenting and discipline styles. Some can teach a second or third language. Some are willing to do housekeeping for extra money, or errands, or do a share. Some are willing to deal with micromanaging employers, WAH parents, SAH parents, grandparents constantly in and out. Some are willing to start early, stay late or work around the clock. Some are willing to approach their employers and negotiate for more tasks in exchange for more pay or better benefits. Any nanny who wants to earn a decent wage has to be willing and able to turn down the cheap jobs. She has to be willing and able to negotiate for the pay and benefits she wants, and walk away if the parents can't or won't meet it. No matter how much we love our charges, for a professional nanny, this is a career, and professionals know when to stay, when to negotiate and when to walk. |
| 60k, 40hrs, been with the family for 3 almost 4 years. |
| I work roughly 45 hours a week (give or take a few more if parents ask me to stay late or they run late at work). After taxes my yearly income is roughly 35,000. I work in DC. I make $20 an hour. I've been with the same family for almost 2 years. I've not gotten a raise thus far. They do give me a considerable amount of paid time off. |
