[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gross pay = $10 - $12 per hour per family if it is a 3 family share. That is an approximate discount of 30% off of my 1 child/1family rate.

A two family share? Still no less than $30/hour, and the parents would need to figure out the split of costs.

Of course, OT would apply.

So for a 50 hour week, all 3 families would pay at least $575/week GROSS. I would gross $1775/week.[/quote]

That's 92k a year salary. Why would 3 families each pay $10 per child to be in a 3 kid share? They can get it in a 2 kid share. If 2 families are involved, again why would anyone with 2 kids deal with a 3 kid share? They can find a nanny that caters just to them at $20/hr. [/quote]

Exactly.  It makes no sense.

This board had potential to be good but all it has become is nannies complaining incessantly and trying to inflate wages. It's really disappointing.[/quote]

First, she stated that that would be the rate for a three-family share.  While they could theoretically find a share nanny for $20, most nannies who are competent enough to handle a share well and really shine in that role have lots of options.  I make $20 working for one family.  To lure me into a share, I would want at LEAST $22.  So for $20 you are already starting to limit to pool of candidates, which means that the quality of care is starting to look more like daycare.  Nanny care is a luxury.  So, yes, I am sure some people want a share because they think they can get someone at the bottom of the nanny market and split her pay and each pay $5-7 dollars and hours and won't this nanny be thrilled, that is only one mindset.  Most people pursuing nanny care are doing so because they want a high-quality caregiver and a share gives them the chance to hire someone at the top of her field who they would otherwise never be able to afford.  While it is not ALWAYS true that a $25 nanny has skills that most $20 nannies don't and likewise for $15 nannies, the majority of the time, the awesome, educated professional nannies know their worth.[/quote]
