[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I'm new to this forum & hope I'm posting on the right board. What do you pay your nanny when you have her travel w/child. I have one daughter who is going to visit her paternal grandmother (my ex's mom). I would like to send our nanny with my eight year old daughter. It will be a low stress trip as dd's cousins her age will be there. However, due to an incident that happened last summer I want dd accompanied by her nanny. I pay the nanny $20/hour.

What do you pay your nanny per day when she travels overnight with your child(ren).

Thanks in advance.

How long will your nanny be staying with your DD at your ex-MIL's home? I ask because unless you have unlimited funds, an extended stay will become very costly very quickly. And is your ex-MIL fine with having an additional house guest? Are you offering your ex-MIL a food stipend for nanny, or how will that work?

If your nanny will be sharing a room with your DD, you need to pay a relatively higher overnight rate. If your ex-MIL is less than thrilled at having nanny along for the visit (meaning nanny will be coping with backlash stress, you need to pay a slightly higher rate overall.

General guideline:

Regular hourly rate (and OT) for all waking hours nanny is working, i.e., responsible for DD and unable to go do whatever nanny wants to do.

1/2 hourly rate for sleeping hours if nanny is NOT sharing a room, 20% more than that if nanny is sharing a room.

Bonus of 10 - 20% of total if there are issues with ex-MIL over this visit, to thank nanny for coping.

$20/hour from 7a - 9p, plus OT is (20 x 8) + (30 x 6) = $340 + 100 - 120 for sleeping hours = $440 - $460 plus 20% difficulty bonus = $532 - $552 per 24 hour period

So if all is happy and peaceful and joyous, you'll pay $440 per 24 hour period. If not, you'll pay up to $552/24 hour period.

That...is a lot of money.

Good luck![/quote]
