[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a live in nanny I make 11 per hr.[/quote]
How old are you, 16? My high school kid earned more than that. So no, I don't believe you for a second.[/quote]

But your high schooler isn't a live-in nanny, right? So room & board isn't part of her compensation package, which certainly does total to less than what an actual live-in nanny would make. And this isn't a full-time gig for your daughter. The hourly rate offered for one-off babysitting is different than the rate for full time care, simply because one is a consistent stream of reliable income and the other is not, and you're paying the person a premium for their random availability. Just like how the back-up daycare rate is higher than the regular, full time rate at a center.

I posted here awhile back looking for a benchmark of what I would need to offer to get a decent live-in candidate and what PP is saying is completely in line with the feedback I was given. If it's a good live-in package - nice accommodations, some board included, PTO, a few other perks here & there - I was told $10/hr for a live-in was totally reasonable and the few friends I have with actual live-ins pay even less. So I'm not sure what your disbelief is based on. [/quote]
