I make 12-15+ per hour as a live-in nanny. Less than 2 years references, no college degree, no college courses relevant. If you're only getting $10/hour, why? What are your job responsibilities, how many kids are you comfortable caring for, and of what ages? How many hours do you work? Do you go through an agency and just settle for the families they find, or do you find families yourself?

It is not your damn business to know the following what you listed, tell me one thing ur intitled to besides getting upset?

Excuse me, but I was responding to the PP who said that she thought $10/hour was the standard for live-in nannies. I disagree, so I asked for more information to see if I could offer an alternative way to present herself. With 15 years of experience, it shouldn't matter whether she's live-in or live-out, $10/hour is too low.

Scam artist is this your extra part-time job sitting and typing make other people life miserable go for it you will be revealed soon the PP you help P.S we absolutely know Who you are !our good helper you've been flog we got your clues they are working on it I do not think tank you should sit down and do what you do for no reason

That is a huge hourly wage PP.

You must have to do the child's laundry, load/unload the dishwasher as well as sterilize all baby toys during nap time.

I charge $25/hr, live-in or live-out.

I do I love every minute of it people don't let money define you. Love what you do.^^

I live in Portland, OR and the market here is less nanny friendly than in DC. Here, most families with one child expect to pay a nanny $10-14/hr. I have a bachelor's degree and twelve years nanny experience. My last nanny family had one child, and started my pay at $13/hr for her (they did provide me with coffee, breakfast, lunch every day, one week paid vacation, and guaranteed hours), but her cousin of the same age joined us for nearly half the hours I was there (I was with them 32 hours a week and he was there for 14), and during those hours I made $17/hr to start. They offered me a raise after a year and a half, so then I made $14/hr for one child or $19/hr for both.

When that position ended about a year ago, I interviewed with many families, and found it very difficult to find a family willing to pay $15/hr for one child and offer guaranteed hours and paid vacation. So many families said they wanted to hire me but could only offer $12 or $13/hr to start! I finally took a job with infant twins that paid $16/hr, but even that is low, although they do offer guaranteed hours and paid vacation so I consider myself lucky.

Many of my nanny friends here make $12-14/hr for one child. I even knows two nannies here who work with 2-3 children for that rate! $15/hr for one (with guaranteed hours or any benefits) is EXCEEDINGLY hard to come by here.

I'm a live in nanny with 15 years of experience. I take care of 2 children I make 10 per hr. Imo 10 is about the going rate for a live in nanny.

A few years ago I worked for $12 an hour for 2 toddlers. It was a horrible situation, and no I wasn't making anywhere near what I deserved. Then why did I take it? Because I'm an adult with financial responsibilities and it was all I could find at the time. For most people, it doesn't come down to anything more than that. If people could get jobs for higher pay, they would. It's the employer's fault for paying low, not the jobless nanny who's been denied from the higher paying jobs and has to take whatever she can find to put food on the table.

As soon as I could find something better in this economy we have (which was very hard), I quit. I managed to get a job with a family paying $19.50, and now, after my yearly raise, I'm making $22. I consider myself very lucky.

With no experience, 1 child over 2, no college, I can see a live-in being paid $10-15/hour if the parents offered live-in as an option for the nanny's convenience.

Hahaha wow sweet I loved it!!!!

No,no,and no.
