[quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone have to think that there is ANY standard for Nanny Shares in DC
There are so many neighborhoods in DC and nannies  are being paid ALL kind of absurdly low rates for nanny shares.

The nanny who posted 12 per hour per infant- YES, I have your back.

I totally agree with you.

There are no standards people!  IF  there were standards, then we would not have to have this forum and be checking to see what other people posted- and posting anonymously!!

Seriously!

If you are being paid less then 12 per hour per infant for a nanny share,
that does not mean that you are not a very good nanny- it just means that you accepted a very tough position for less then you should have.

Well, that was your decision.

However, it is very common in DC to be paid 17 or 18 per hour BASE
to care for one infant for one family.  I agree.

Then, when you are considering a share, 12 per child is right.

Why?
Simple:
Daycare is 10 per hour ususally and there are 1 teacher to 5 or 6 infants, correct?
More or less, right?

A nanny comes to your home, makes food for the children, takes them to special activities, gives them 1 on 2 ratio care,
Cares for you children with cold's,
possibly does housework, laundry, kid's dishes and maybe even shopping.

Most importantly, your child as more attention and care from the caregiver to play, eat and sleep.  Especially sleep.

And so yes, parents, you should consider paying your nanny just 2 dollars per hour over the daycare.

I have also been paid overtime for if it is a 10 hour day, but only working 3 days a week.  So, not over 40 hours, but still longer then an 8 hour day.

Sometimes I feel like I should organize a Nanny Union, seriously
