[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP but if the live-in nanny making 500 a week (working 6 days a week) is an immigrant, I am sure this is good money considering room and board is included.

I came to this country as a student, during the summer I did full-time nanny job. I was paid $350 per week. I really needed that $1400 per month to pay tuition and save up. Since it was my first job in the US, I obviously didn't have much experience with childcare the "US way," I only  had personal verifiable references so basically it was a good start.

The second job I was paid $ 620 a week + transportation for a 55 + hours. The job was very difficult but I needed the money to pay medical bills for my late sister, my rent etc.

My point is we do not know the whole story about the live-in nanny and her NF so let us not be quick to call people slaves etc. [/quote]

I'm not judging the nanny for taking the position.  My point is that an employer who pays less than minimum wage may be sued later for all wages owed.  And that it includes employers who mistaken believe that room and board can be deducted for all live-in nannies.[/quote]
Exactly. She likely doesn't care about the law.[/quote]
