[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I've never done a live-in arrangement so take my advice for what it's worth but I'd probably want to be in the $18-20/hr range.  So I'd tell her what the rental value of the unit is (and be very realistic about that - keeping in mind that a $2,500 rent might be out of the question for her so perhaps not the most useful benchmark to her).

Then I'd do the math of 50 hours at $30/hr base, per month - which gets you in the neighborhood of $6,600 gross income per month.  THen subtract the value of the rental and you're at $4,100 income for the month, divided by 4 weeks and by the number of hours per week that you're contracting for and you have an hourly rate.

If I'm your nanny, making the same calculations, I'm guessing I'd be willing to consider a $20/hr rate for a 50 hr position to be acceptable (giving her roughly $1,100wk gross pay), and a $22/hr rate to be quite good (if she really loves the unit, the location, working for/with you, etc...)

Keep in mind that you'll want room to give her raises and bonuses of course.

Good luck.  Sounds like it could be a terrific fit for all of you - I hope it works out![/quote]

Thank you.  This is exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. [/quote]
