[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was travel part of the expectations for this job? Or short-notice availability? Those are more standard in "high-profile," high-pay jobs, but should be spelled out as part of the hiring agreement.[/quote]
Those jobs pay a minimum of $100,000., in which case nanny doesn't complain too much. If parents really want 24/7 from one person, it's more like $300,000.[/quote]

I don't know where you got your figures from, but as someone who has worked a job of that nature I can assure you that you're not going to find a $300,000 24/7 nanny job. Such jobs usually don't pay a minimum of $100,000 either...it's usually quite a bit less. The job I worked did have short-notice travel that could last a few weeks, but in return I was granted a sufficient amount of time off when we returned to make up for working 24/7 for 3 weeks straight. When we returned the other nanny would take over for a week or so to give me some personal time to catch up on things (appointments, friends, etc...)[/quote]
If you like, you can google celebrity nannies.[/quote]

Celebrity nanny jobs are few an far between (thank goodness). I've worked two high profile jobs, and interviewed for quite a few others. They are not all they are cracked up to be, and only one offered a salary over $100,000. Most included extensive travel. They can be exhausting jobs, but also worth it in the short term if one is trying to save up some money. [/quote]

Professional nannies who have the skills to manage a celebrity job, are also few and far between. That goes without saying, FYI.[/quote]
