| I worked in the infant room of a daycare center and was paid $9.55 an hour. Daycare employees are not paid well, whether they have a bachelors or masters degree. I make twice as much money nannying. |

| Some private elite preschools pay very well with full benefits and summers off. |

| I think that you should offer her a competitive market rate for your particular nanny job. It is likely more than she is currently making and with better benefits. Trying to guess at what she makes currently and basing your offer off of it is not the way to go. |

| I would just offer her what you would offer any other nanny, regardless of her current position. I get that you want to be competitive with your rates, so your best course of action would be looking into nanny pay rates for your area. |

In my somewhat limited experience, daycare workers earn around $10/hour or less, but they tend to get REALLY good benefits if they are FT. And those benefits often include health/vision/dental insurance, just FYI.
So whatever offer you make (For an approximate idea of what "the norm" might be, check out care's salary calculator. It trends low, but it's the best tool there is.) keep in mind that she may get good enough benefits that she will be loath to give those up just for more $$. |
