[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, you find the best candidate for the wage you offer. For perspective We pay our nanny $18 an hour and proper overtime and paid vacation and we just did the taxes and her W2 it ended up at $41k in wages including taxes.  Which does not include employer federal tax contribution. So that’s another 6-7k we paid. That’s not bad considering it’s one easy kid, run of the house, 8 hours, no driving and we come home early regularly and let her go. [/quote]
If she's happy, that's all you need. But I still wonder what her monthly budget looks like. Does she have to live with someone to make ends meet?[/quote]

She bought a townhouse with the help of her kids (she’s older) and using her pay stubs for the bank. She rents out a basement suite to someone as well. [/quote]
So fortunate that her children are able to help support her on your low wages.[/quote]

If it’s one child $18 is not low with overtime. Would $20 be better, of course, but there are nannies making $15 and under which is severely low in my opinion. In all fairness it’s not the employers responsibility to make sure her nanny is making enough to live. Retail and places like McDonald’s pay minimum wage which is not enough to live on. Even county teachers are well underpaid. [/quote]
