[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always speak about wages in gross. When you negotiate for a new job, do your employers make the offer in gross or net wages?

Do the above and be sure to outline it in writing to the candidates so you know everyone is on the same page.

Acceptable rates are in the $15-$20/hour range with most really superb, experienced nannies being in the $17-$19/hour range -- however, that varies depending on a variety of factors including the total number of weekly hours.

Can you give us more details?[/quote]
Zero data to support her claims, of course.[/quote]

It is not clear to me why you have gotten so defensive of my "claims" but here are details about the last few jobs I am aware of that were offered to a nanny and accepted. These are all in Arlington, Alexandria and McLean.

-$16/hour for 40 hours, plus $24/hour for 12 OT hours for a weekly total of $928
-$17/hour for 40 hours, plus $25.50/hour for 12 OT hours for a weekly total of $986
-$20/hour for 40 hours for a total of $800
$19/hour for 40 hours plus $28.50/hour for 5 OT hours for a weekly total of $902.50
-$19/hour for 40 hours plus $28.50/hour for an average of 10 OT hours per week, for an average weekly total of $1045
-another like the first, with $16/hour for 40 hours plus $24/hour for 12 OT hours for a weekly total of $928[/quote]

I think we all need to ignore the PP who wants the "data." She's either someone looking to just stir up drama or she is a nanny without many skills who wants to make more than she is actually worth.  She tries to claim all nannies should make more than anyone ever says they pay.  If everyone paid the $30/hr she claims nannies should then she'd probably price herself right out of a job.  If she is actually worth that then she shouldn't have any problem finding a job making that and she wouldn't care what people [i]say[/i] they pay on here.[/quote]
