[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30,000, for 52 weeks  is not average.  A typical work week 
is 50 hours, by these standards this would come out 
to $11.50 per hour.  I think rates are closer to 40,000-50,000 a year.[/quote]

See Forbes article below.

"The average full-time caregiver–there are some 1.2 million nannies in the U.S. according to government data–earns $26,000 a year, basically minimum wage, according to Breedlove and Associates, a firm that helps some 6,500 families with the legal side of hiring domestic help.

That figure “pops a bit” to around $30,000 in high-cost areas like Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, according to Thomas Breedlove, the firm’s proprietor. This might even err on the high end since these are only families that choose to be above the board when it comes to taxes."

Breedlove, the company that has the ultimate payroll data and knows how much everyone makes, says $30k is on the high end for the Washington DC area.

It is a bit dated but even with inflation, $30k doesn't become $55k in 6 years.

In addition, Brooklyn, NY parent association surveyed 1000 parents around Brooklyn. 
The average pay for Brooklyn are
1 child- $14.22/hr
2 children- $15,96/hr
3 children- $16.32/hr

There is way too much wage inflation on this board. This board is for nannies talking about how much they would LIKE to be paid. That's a big difference from what the market rate is and what is talked about on here. I would LIKE to be paid an extra 20%-30% higher than my salary too. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.[/quote]
