[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore the PP. she is insistent that every nanny makes $35/hour. Not sure if she's crazy or trying to trick nannies out of jobs. I agree with others that if you're willing to gamble the job, counter with $20/hour. Although $18/hour is a good starting wage for a share, considering it'd be your first. Its not really their problem that you were previously paid under the table. [/quote]

Why is being a share for 2 kids worth $18/$20 while being a regular nanny for 3 kids is like $13?[/quote]

I don't know any nannies being paid $13/hour, let alone for 3 children in one family, so I'm not sure what you're driving at there. Individual families pay less than they would for their own nanny because they do not receive the full benefit of having their own nanny. The children share attention, the needs of both children and families must always be taken into account, they cannot make unilateral decisions, they may not get sick coverage, they may not get even basic nanny duties like child laundry, and many more sacrifices for the price. I charge a few dollars more per hour for a share than a single family with 2 children and ask for my PTO to be completely at my choosing rather than theirs, but $35/hour is excessive. If share families could afford that rate, they could afford their own nanny. [/quote]
