[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are beginning the search process for a live-in nanny. Looking to understand the market rates for live-in nanny's.

- 2.5 y/o and 4 m/o 
- 45-50 hours per week - including 2-3 overnights per month due to parents' work schedules
- Daytime hours (except overnights) - toddler goes to school during AM
- Other than the overnights, we don't have any non-standard requirements.
- Housing: 500 sq ft nanny suite with separate living area, bedroom, and full bath. Separate entrance, off street parking, internet/cable/utilities included.

What is the hourly rate we should offer? 
Would it be feasible to offer flat weekly stipend?

Thanks

Our G4 live-in nanny gets $7/hr for our 3 kids. 40 hours/week now that kids are in school.

If 2 kids are normally 850-950 a week live out I'd do 2/3s of that for live in. or half if you are providing all the food and amenities plus living arrangement.

your living arrangement for nanny en suite sounds fabulous. [/quote]

Don't act like you got such a good deal. You are paying that rate because you or your spouse work for an international organization and your nanny's salary is in line with domestic worker's salaries in her country of origin. You also are required to pay for accommodation, food, medical and travel expenses for her as well. Have you calculated that in you rate above? This is no different from the Aupair program, except that G4 nanny program isn't that closely monitored until when a nanny reports abuse by the family. I have heard of nannies complaining that they have become gardeners, car washers, chefs and even required to work late through the night and weekend caring for multiple children. Most of these families abuse the girls because they know the nanny is far away from home and knows no one nearby to help out. A friend of mine's travel documents were hidden from her. Can you imagine? This program should be terminated or improved because so many families are down right horrendous to live with or even work for. Paying a person $7/h is nothing to be gloating about in 2017 in the D.C area where minimum wage is more than twice that.  [/quote]
