[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]Since no one is ever going to convince everybody that they are correct about whether minimum wage applies to both families total wages or to each family's wages individually, let's take this in a different direction.

If you interview for a nanny share, how do you price the job? Do you ask each family to pay half your normal/average rate? Do you give each family a discount off your normal/average rate? And would you ever willingly choose to work in a nanny share paying only $14/hour on average? If you did take a nanny share position paying an average hourly rate of $14/hour (or lower), would you then continue to look for other jobs?

MB's, how do you come up with an average hourly rate for a nanny you employ in a share? Have you had good luck finding long-term nannies for less than $14/hour average total in a share, where you and the other employer are each paying $7/hour or less on average?

I price nanny share jobs (let's assume 2 infants to start) at anywhere from 65% - 75% of my average rate for a single family PER EMPLOYER. So if my normal average rate is $20/hour, I would charge EACH FAMILY between $13 and $15/hour as my average rate.

If I were forced out of desperation to take a nanny share job where each employer chose to pay less than minimum wage, I would absolutely keep looking for a better job.[/quote]
I think your math is way off - I never heard of share rates of $30/hr, or $26/hr.  If these nannies exist, they constitute a tiny minority of the market.

In upper NWDC, it is my observation that nanny share rates are in the range of $18 to $22/hr.[/quote]
In your NWDC neighborhood, how many paychecks and/or tax forms have you verified? [/quote]
or "observed", first hand?[/quote]
