How it sounds is irrelevant. Under the FLSA nannies are entitled to earn at least minimum wage. A LI Nanny working 63 hours a week is legally entitled to earn $456.75. More if she lives where live ins get paid OT or where minimum wage is higher.

And as far as all the money she is "saving", $20,800 - 26,000 gross minus 20% in taxes minus health/car/renters insurance ($2000/year or more), cell phone (400), car payment (250), credit card (150), clothes (500), toiletries and personal care like hair cuts (500), food and entertainment (1000), etc. - let's say that she spends $200/week. That leaves her with anywhere from $6240 - $10,400 saved. 3276 hours worked means she saves $1.90 - $3.17 per hour worked.

If she is saving to buy a 150K house, it'll take 3 - 5 years to get her 20% down payment. That sounds insane.[/quote]

PP's nanny makes $500/week so seems she's all right with minimum wage.  Your expenditure estimates are way off - on what would she spend $200/week? [/quote]
