Nannies, what is your salary

I won't give my exact pay but I am in LA

I care for twins and I make in the area of $25-35 per hr. Normally I work 12 hr days for 5 days a week, sometimes 15 hrs depending on the day. I have 20 years experience, BA in Education.
Only be with the kids, other staff takes care of other items (cleaning, pets, driving, etc). I have been with them for 2 years. I have in my contract that we do a review every 6 months and at that time factor in a raise.
I get health insurance covered and a work mobile. I have a nanny car, but I mostly use the driver so I don't use that car much.

Good example of a professional nanny.

$59k a year. $24 per hour, 3 kids. In my area I'm underpaid for my experience/education level. I will be looking for a new position soon.

Is your decision to leave solely based on your wage? Not judging, just asking.

No, there are multiple reasons outside of money that range from minor issues with the family to personal life goals. it's just got to the point where the position was no longer beneficial for me. I gave a year notice and I'm living on good terms. The family was kind but no longer the right fit.

I currently care for a 2 1/2 year old from 7-5, Monday-Friday. I am paid $16/hr. MB is pregnant and due with a baby in the next few weeks and then will be on maternity leave until the end of May. Once she goes back to work full-time, I will get a pay raise to $17/hr.

I'm 25 and have about 8 years of experience if that matters at all.

A baby is a boatload of work for a dollar an hour. Hope it works out for you.


PP here: I am well aware of that. By the time I have the baby full-time, she will be 12 weeks old and I just don't see the need to ask for more then a $1/hr raise just to be caring for a toddler and infant.

Your employers found themselves a real bargain. Good for them.

+1 A real bargain. I once, out of generosity took on a temporary job that averaged out to $2/hr for an infant until toddler aged. The MB wanted to get iffy about paying. I handed her a break down of the rate I gifted to her, and an extensive detail of the services I was providing.--including the love, commitment to the DC. I asked her to take the weekend to consider whether she could get 1/2 of my services at that gifted rate anywhere else. If so, let me know and we can terminate our contract. She quit her quibbling after that.

I know. Fully understand, and respect its your decision to accept the $1. I am not disputing any of those facts. So, without intending to offend, I'm just wondering if you're nervous about requesting a more equitable increase. I doubt if MB would take on an entire other position at her job, for only a $1 more per hour. IMO

$20/hr - 35hr/week Family A
$22/hr - either 8 or 16hr/week Family B

With babysitting on top of that I typically fall in the 50-60K range, though obviously it's cobbled together. Personally I like the variety but it's true that my primary job only pays about 38K a year. Both jobs, though, pay me when they don't need me, and that helps a lot and is unusual to find in PT work.

I am a great nanny, highly educated, an experienced teacher, well traveled and multi-lingual. I could certainly command more hourly at a particular type of nannying job, but this is where I'm happiest. I don't fret that extra money that would probably come at the expense of my happiness (as it did in teaching). However, I wouldn't drop below $20 now for any nannying, at least in my area.
