[quote=Anonymous]Let's be clear, although part time nannies don't work the same amount of TOTAL hours as full time nannies, they are still working 10-12 hour shifts, 3-4 days per week (that's long). Plus, take into consideration that they have more than 1 child most times.

The hourly rate wasn't the issue, it was the hours to bring home more money- as we all understand that things happen throughout life and in the end, you have to do what needs to be done, to survive!

Regardless if you are a part time or full time nanny the amount of hours you work should have nothing to do with your hourly wage. It's the number of children and the amount of work and responsibilities are needed for the position. If you have 2 children that are both home all day and under the age of 4, you should not make less than $20- if OT is in there, than okay, maybe $18. This is my opinion.

For a nannyshare, this works in the nanny and parents favor. The nanny brings home more and the parents pay less for childcare. My opinion, nannyshares should start at $25 (that's $12.50 per family) which is reasonable, considering the children WILL be on separate schedules, until you can get them on the same page. You are dealing with 2 families, who may have different opinions, and what works for the other family may not work for them, so you will need to please both families.

look how much a 4 or 5 star child care center charges for children. You are doing way much more than a teacher. You cook, clean, wash dishes, laundry, vacuum, let the dog out, take the children on outings that may involve walking long distance, driving, metro, plan daily activities to promote development etc. Nannies work very hard, both part time and full time nannies.
