[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make $81,675 gross which is $27/hr for 50 hours per week for 2 kids. Been with them 5 years, 13 years total nanny experience, bachelor's in child psychology and development. My previous 2 positions were 4 years each, I've taken 2 total sick days in 13 years. My certifications include CPR and first aid, pediatric sleep consultant, car seat safety, babywearing educator, and lactation support.

My benefits include 2 weeks vacation, 3 sick days, 8 holidays, guaranteed hours, mileage reimbursement and monthly car detail (I use my personal vehicle for work), $250/year continuing education stipend.

I've never turned the tv on at work ever, our days are filled with developmentally appropriate activities and outings plus of course all of the lift transitions- baby led weaning, sleep training, potty training, social skills, preschool prep, teaching independence and age appropriate chores.

To be honest, when this position phases out, I'm not sure how my starting pay in my next job will compare. I started this one at $23/hr and have received annual performance based raises. [/quote]

My feeling is that you’ll easily be able to command $28 to $30 an hour with your education and experience for one first-born newborn (which I highly recommend).  Take your time choosing your next job.  Look at everything including commuting time (I chose less because I wanted to walk to work).  I have much the same educational background as you do except teaching experience in place of years of nannying.  [/quote]
I agree. The pay scale for a good nanny in this area has risen to the 30/hr range. I know some nannies who earn more, plus some very nice benefits.[/quote]

Serious questions, not trying to be rude at all. How are they finding those jobs? In which area are the families paying that amount? How are the families? [/quote]
