[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the gross per week/guaranteed hours defines the rate more than what you hear on this board. $700-$800 is a very good salary for 2 kids for 40-50 hours. A share is usually $1-$2 more. Avoid nannies who think a share is quick windfall way to go from making $10 an hour to $20 an hour. The nannies on this board who think that people in the DC area are paying $900-$1000 starting weekly salaries are just trying to scam you.

I suggest you negotiate and budget in terms of weekly gross/guaranteed hours.This is far. far clearer. Every nanny that we interviewed told us their previous average rate not the lower base rate. On this board, a few bad nannies flip the opposite way and want you to believe that the average is the base. Its not. When people here say they are paying $15, its $15 average not $15 base and $22 overtime.

In the contract specify the actual base and OT rate. If you go over the hours in the contract you would pay the higher OT rate. [/quote]

Just as I wouldn't presume to know what the average pay, is for your occupation, you insult every care giver, by doing the same thing.  I've told potential employers, who've wanted to pay me $8 per child, for a share, that there was nothing wrong with their pay, BUT I simply wasn't a good fit for them  In any job, after you've accrued 10-15 years of experience in a particular field,  I find it to be arrogant, and ignorant, when parents like you assume that your perceived "good salary" will be agreeable to all.  You need to have a whole stadium of seats, with your tight-fisted attitude. You mentioned 50 hour weeks, which is in essence a parenting job.  Would you accept $800 a week to be a parent to more than one child, for most of your time?  The ridiculousness on this board, is  unparalleled.[/quote]

Very well said, 16:55.
