[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there will be many opinions on this pretty basic topic, but how do families go about discussing pay when in the nanny hiring process? Do you just say up front, this job pays $X/hr and outline the benefits, vacation, other details of the contract, etc., or do you work with candidates to get a range of what they are looking for salary-wise?

Yes, you always want to have your benefits package upfront but your hourly salary should be a range of five dollars.  So like $20-25 or $25 to 30.  If advertised on care.com - this is really important.  Within that range you can ask what the nanny's quote is.  Also we had truly the world's greatest nanny for our son who accepted the job with us even though we were under her price range because we lived only a block away.  So make sure to use the care.com search for nannies who live within a mile of your house and ask in the phone interview if she is will to accept less due to proximity.  [/quote]

I don’t charge less just because someone is close to me. That’s ridiculous. What does it matter if I live 5 mins away, I still have the same amount of work with the kids. [/quote]
