[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's 90% of your paycheck. I swear. Also, everything you read on here, particularly posted by anonymous nannies making too little and wishing it was different is totally and absolutely true. You need to pay at least what they say on here.

More seriously, I have read all kinds of rates here. In my moms' groups and talking to real people, I met a couple who paid $21 and $25 and they were completely absentee parents who worked 24x7 and both parents had very demanding jobs (lawfirm partners). They entrusted their nanny with not just care but management and major decisions. Everybody else with regular jobs (6 figure jobs) with sometimes long hours but mostly able to come home for dinner type jobs pay $15-$20.[/quote]

Nanny here. Worked for 3 families so far. 
- 1st and 3rd family were government contractors/feds that worked predictable 40 hour weeks. Paid 18 & 20 for 2 kids.
- 2nd family. Law firm partners. Unpredictable hours. Most weeks I would average 60 hours. $25/hr plus overtime for 2 kids.

I liked working for my 1st and 3rd family the most. It was nice having predictable hours and getting home when the sun was still out  :D . [/quote]
