[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal experience in interviewing nannies is that the rate they quote is an "after tax" rate, rather than a "before tax" rate.  So, if you can offer $20/hr, figure out what that would be after taxes (probably about $16/hr), and offer that rate.  If you say that you are going to offer $20/hr, and people find out at the interview that is before taxes, on the books, you are going to find a lot of people shutting you down quickly.  [/quote]

I did not have this experience but I have in my ad that you must be legal to work in the US. And I'm in the DC area where I'm told, all of the government and government related jobs give people motivation to keep it all legal.

Anyway, when I talk to nannies on interview, everyone talks before tax.[/quote]

PP here.

strangely, though, despite what I hear on DCUM, I have yet to meet a nanny who had an official contract from her previous job or official vacation policies.[/quote]

NP here, but maybe you're simply dealing with a different caliber of nanny? I don't mean that to be inflammatory, but every English speaking experienced nanny I know uses a contract and has at least basic benefits. [/quote]
