[quote=Anonymous]Just to give myself as an example, I have had four nanny positions.  My first I was paid nothing; it was part-time work in exchange for room and board.  My next job paid 300 each week, and was live-in, for two school aged kids in a flyover state.  My next job paid 400 each week for similar hours, also live-in, for two toddlers in DC.  My current job pays almost 700 per week, live out, for two infants.  With each job, I have gained both full-time and babysitting experience.  The latest job has been the biggest jump, partly because I was at the $400 gig for 3 years, so I was hired as a nanny with 5 years experience, instead of only 2, which is how I started my $400 job.

Each job has been drastically different, and a potential employer who wanted to pay me what my boss out west paid would not be appealing to me at this point.

I get that it levels out, as the difference between one year and 5 years' experience is a lot different than that between 5 and 10 years, especially as you settle into live-out or live-in positions more consistently.  Still, you can see my point.  Ask about pay if you want, but know that a lot factors in:  age and number of kids, job duties, vacation, car/housing for a live in, level of experience of nanny, benefits or casual freebies, and the relationship between nanny and family.[/quote]
