[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are helping our nanny find a new job and, of course, everyone asks what it costs!  I am trying to put it in the simple terms but I am getting a lot of gasps! Am I missing something?!?

Hourly: around $18 (plus 10 hours OT)
Gross - $975/week
Net - $700/week
Employer taxes - $110/week

All and all the bottom line is any family will need around $4,000 a month for a full-time, 50 hour a week nanny.  Does that sound correct?  Every time I explain to a new family, they gasp!!!!

Just making sure I am not missing something!?!? [/quote]

No one pays $18 an hour. Actually few people mess around with hourly anyways as salary is easier. Average pay for a nanny (~50 hours a week) is like $500, no taxes, no benefits. You can have a nanny for $2000 a month easily. And that is a good nanny too, not an illegal.[/quote]

I mostly don't believe this is in the DMV. If it is, you really should be ashamed of yourself, and I'm a MB who regularly rolls her eyes at the nannies who claim everyone should be making 60K+.

$26,400/yr for a 50hr per week job? That's awful. Even a single person would find it hard to live on this anywhere close to DC, and no one should have to work overtime for it!

Agreed.  We pay approx $2200 a month. Never need OT, but this includes paid vacations etc...this is above the board--completely legal (we have TSSCI so we do not mess around either).[/quote]

I don't believe PP - that is DIRT cheap for a full-time 50 hour a week nanny, cannot be legal. [/quote][/quote]
