[quote=Anonymous]Advice needed here:

I am a single mother of two kids, with a full time live-in nanny who I pay 1500 dollars for a 5 day live-in role.

Its a standard fixed 1500 - we don't work on an hourly calculation since its live-in and a fixed system is preferred by her.

She gets 2 days off a week, and any time we need her to stay an extra day/night  (in case I travel or if I am unwell) we compensate her for that with the usual daily rate.

We also have a full time live-out housekeeper who does all the cleaning, cooking, laundry, ironing etc, and serves as a second nanny when needed.

At Christmas and Thanksgiving I gave a full weeks bonus both times, however we have never discussed federal holidays, and she tends to stay with us for all of them, and is paid for them like a regular working day.

My question is, am I supposed to give her paid days off for federal holidays? Or let the system continue?

Lastly, what is the annual paid holiday allowance which most families with full time live-in help follow?

Would other nannies reading this think the above is a fair salary? Its essentially approx 6000 a month minimum.[/quote]
