[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the gross per week/guaranteed hours defines the rate more than what you hear on this board. $700-$800 is a very good salary for 2 kids for 40-50 hours. A share is usually $1-$2 more. Avoid nannies who think a share is quick windfall way to go from making $10 an hour to $20 an hour. The nannies on this board who think that people in the DC area are paying $900-$1000 starting weekly salaries are just trying to scam you.

I suggest you negotiate and budget in terms of weekly gross/guaranteed hours.This is far. far clearer. Every nanny that we interviewed told us their previous average rate not the lower base rate. On this board, a few bad nannies flip the opposite way and want you to believe that the average is the base. Its not. When people here say they are paying $15, its $15 average not $15 base and $22 overtime.

In the contract specify the actual base and OT rate. If you go over the hours in the contract you would pay the higher OT rate. [/quote]

What makes you certain you know what anyone means, aside from yourself? Maybe that's what YOU mean when you say $15/hour. I always quote base rate, because that is my rate. If you want OT, you'll pay for it, at 1.5 times my rate. If my rate is too high for you, we won't work together. Doesn't make me a "bad" nanny. In what other world are hourly workers quoted an "average" rate?[/quote]
