[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm 11:06 and I think you're really overestimating how fantastic her package is.  Where do you live?  I always assume these are DC nannies, but let us know if not.  Yes, it is a very good live-in package, but it's not a very very very good live-in package other than the massive bonus.  How many hours is she?

Taking out the bonus, because it sounds like you might be questioning it, and assuming she works 9-hour days 5-days a week, you're paying a little over $13 an hour (a little under $13 an hour if you include overtime - my understanding is that's not required for a live-in?).  She gets free rent, utilities, and food.  Yes, that is a great rate for a live-in in this area, but only by a few dollars an hour (seems like something around $10-11/hour is "standard" quoted on here).  And two weeks of vacation and Federal holidays (wait, only 6?) are completely standard.

Listen, I agree that it's a very good package for a live-in nanny assuming she has a regular 8-10 hour/day schedule.  But regardless of what you pay her, if you haven't clarified that you're paying the slightly higher rate because you expect her to be available for occasional overnights, then I don't see how you can just decide she's not worth what you're paying unless she works more when you say you want her to work more.[/quote]
