Our nanny just finished working with us for five years.. We are helping her look for another position, if your still interviewing. Please put down your email address, I can send it to her we live in NW, DC by Logan Circle.

All fed holidays and 3 weeks PTO ,plus thr week between christmas and NY. We supply a nanny car with a credit card with her name on it, so she never has to ask me to reimburse her for expenses.

Bonus, but I don't discuss it. It is merit based, not guaranteed.

Op here. We are looking to pay $950 net ( $20 for 40 hours, plus $30 for 5 hours). We will guarantee that wage even if we don't use the 45 hours a week. We would like to offer 3 weeks paid vacation, 5 sick/personal days, and paid major holidays. We will offer to pay half of health insurance but after 90 days. We will offer lunch/snacks, reimburse for activities, and give a bonus but I feel those are common sense.

We have a nanny that we like that was recommended but she wants $23-25 per hour. We don't want to start out tha high and wanted to know what is standard.

Give her $23 an hour but don't offer bonuses.

We do 15 days of PTO with the request that any vacation be requested at least a month in advance, and five days of the 15 would be consecutive and our choice.
We pay for monthly mass transit pass.
We pay for an HMO level of healthcare.
We provide lunch.
We paid for TSA pre-check clearance (didn't have to use a day of PTO to do the interview).
We offer rights of first refusal for babysitting.
Rights of first refusal for tickets to things we have seasonally.

Health insurance, five personal/sick days and five vacation days for her first year. We increased her vacation days to 10 in this second year. We also noted in her contract that she would be paid for vacation days not taken (a God send to us) and she has taken only one sick day (at my insistence) even though they do not roll over.

A stable job.
2 weeks paid - one of our choice, her choice

Family in Kensington, you are offering a basic package.. We are in NW, DC and if you want a VERY experienced nanny. We offered health insurance, and 6 sick, 12 vacation, and paid holiday, with a yearly bonus package, that offer $2 extra if the nanny stays with our family.

Our first hire we offered 5 sick days, 10 vacation days, 10 paid holidays. Later we added partial, and then full coverage of health insurance premiums.

For the second hire we switched things a bit and offered 12 paid days off - to be used for sick leave, vacation, personal leave, anything really. One week vacation to be used in conjunction w/ planned family vacation, other time at employee's discretion with advance notice of at least one month to employer's for any leave of multiple days. And ten paid holidays. No health insurance reimbursement (but we're still in the first months w/ this nanny so we might add that in future years.) Also gave a $1/hr raise annually and several "bonus" days off when we travelled or had days off from work, etc... - but those aren't contracted benefits.

We're in Kensington.

You could do 6 sick days pay and two yearly bonus

5 sick days, 10 vacation days, paid holidays, it would be great if you paid health insurance.

We are interviewing nannies for a full-time position for a 3-month-old. We are offering a very competitive wage but what benefits do families offer? We want to make sure we offer a competitive package to attract very experienced nannies.
