[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$13 net for 5 years experience, no CPR training, so-so English, and a regular 9-5 schedule for a 9 month old with no driving responsibilities. Does this sound like a fair salary compared to current market rates?[/quote]

Can you live on $27,040 before taxes?  Didn't think so.   I am not a nanny but I do believe even nannies. should have food, shelter, othing.  Apparently, you do not.[/quote]

I am an experienced nanny.

I make $20/hr and up, plus benefits.

I have lived on $18,000/year and less (yes, as an adult while supporting myself with no dependents).

I think $13/hr for the requirements OP has outlined is decidedly fair. The nanny's budget is her own responsibility; $13/hr is a living wage.[/quote]

You obviously dont realize that the average nanny in this area lives with someone and sends more than half of their salary 'home'.  Do you know the worth of $10,000 outside of the US.  We are always thinking of things in American standards.  Many of these nannies are able to live with what we would consider as minimal needs.  Just notice, they refuse to buy much here but will send thousands to their countries to build 12 bedroom mansions.  You need to really think again.  Now this is not a reason to 'underpay' anyone, but just to put it in perspective, a CNA makes $10-13/hour.. why would they not do a job like that...because they love your kids??  Think again my friend.....[/quote]
