Career as nanny (Financial issues)

[Anonymous]

OP, from your posts it is also clear your English is not at a native level. Nothing that prevents you from being understood, just that there are grammatical and usage issues which might put you at a disadvantage for high profile jobs as well (or maybe not, if you speak other languages fluently that are in demand).
I think the PP mentioning $80-100k jobs doesn't necessarily mean it's paying $40-50 an hour for 40 hour weeks... generally high profile families who have that much disposable income for childcare alone are not looking for M-F 9-5 coverage. Their nannies are likely working long, unpredictable hours with travel and the hourly rate may very well be below $30 an hour.

Unfortunately in the Nanny Profession there is no career advancement and / or tenure.

Each job, you will probably start all over again at the bottom rung of the ladder until you gain many years of experience which can get you into a great, solid agency.
Perhaps one that caters to the rich.

Good luck.

If she's paid legal OT and paid 52 weeks a year, she works about 52 hrs/wk.

I think that if it's equivalent to a US Associate's Degree, then that's what they'll say about it.

I also think that high-profile families who are looking to pay more than the standard rates are looking for a particular "package." You need to be relentlessly positive, be able to show a portfolio of references, certificates, and ides for what you would do with children, and you need to be able to look the part. That is, dress professionally.

Also, you need to be fluent in a highly desirable language and/or you need to fluent in English, including perfect grammar.

Op here, thanks for giving me helpful information. I thought they are making $40 or $50 hourly.

An LPN is not what people typically think of as a nurse as they have more limited job duties. RN is typically what most people think of when they refer to nurses and they make more than $46k.

Seriously? Now I don't believe you're for real. Have you ever met someone who earns that much?

Prince William's nanny only earns about $55,000/yr, and she's a live-in at their beck and call. Those $85K+ gigs? They mean giving up your life.

Here's the article that cites her rate: https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/466243/Prince-George-s-nanny-Maria-Teresa-Turrion-Borrallo-is-barred-from-smacking

My friend is working as nanny . She take care of little girl and cook for the family. They are paying her $35hourly.
She is excellent cook.
I know it’s really hard to get a position who pay you $35hourly.
My question is about how’s nanny career money wise?

Try looking at some of the positions at top agencies. As I said, I’ve applied for several top positions over the years, and while I haven’t taken those positions for various reasons, I was offered two. I seriously considered both, but decided against them. Top positions are rare, but there are big trade offs.

If she’s cooking for the family, that’s why her comp is higher.

I would grow your domestic skills like cooking and soak up.eveything about managing a full houshold. Reshape your profile as a house manager with great nanny skills. Or night nanny. There's less competition and more willingness of the employer to pay in both of those spaces.

I bet you are Brazilian and speak Spanish besides Portuguese. My Brazilian friend speaks the way you write.
