[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the hours + responsibilities, I’d say $26 is fair + OT for 1 child and for a nanny share (will it be the same hours?) around $27-28.

If you provide living arrangements, does that include all utilities?  I’ve never done a live-in position (maybe some who has can provide feedback?), so assuming it does, then I would say $23-24/hr + OT.  [/quote]

Industry standards are that each family in a share pays 2/3-3/4 of the nanny’s single family rate. So if $26 is the single family rate, each family would pay $17.50 - $19.50.

Live-in nannies should not be charged any room and board costs if LI is a job requirement. If the NANNY insists on being a LI, families can take about $135/week out for room/board according to the federal government. [/quote]

Honest question, have you ever found a nanny share arrangement where the nanny is being paid $35/hr?  No parent is paying that and they even look at you crazy asking for $28-30/hr.  [/quote]

As always, rate depends on location, nanny’s experience, and nanny’s education level. If a nanny with 2 years of nanny experience where she worked for 3 different families and had never cared for more than 1 child, who had no formal education centered around child development asked for $16-18/hour from each family in a share, she’d be laughed out of the interview.

OTOH, a nanny with 20 years of experience, a college degree and continuing education, who had cared for multiple children in each position and stayed long term with families? If she marketed herself to people who could afford her services in a city where nannies are well paid, $50-70/hour total wouldn’t be out of the question. [/quote]
