Four kids, three of whom have their own nanny. I am the nanny/newborn care specialist for the infant. I have been with this family for 3 years. When I started, (with the two older kids) I was paid 28 an over, with applicable overtime-time and a half over 8 hours and double time over 12. Now, I am paid 33 an hour with the same overtime rates. I am also provided with health insurance and two weeks of paid vacation a year. This is a high profile family.

I am also provided a car and health insurance. Yes technically I make min wage but I am also paid to sleep.

What the heck? I made $500/day as a 24 hour live in nanny. You are being way underpaid.

Do the parents ever parent?

Yes the other 3 days each week they do. I'm the only nanny they have.

So for four days they don't see their children? I don't get this setup.

You are making less than minimum wage. I hope they are paying you OT, but I doubt it.

They travel for work 4 days per week. Yes I make min wage roughly 7.29 per hr so a few cents over. No I don't get over time because in Virginia live in nannies are not required to be paid it.

How old are you?
What's your background? Are you here legally?

Also how long have you been with this family?

Is this your long term plan?

I make anywhere from $15 to $20 / hour depending on the job.

Yes, everyone who is paid for their job is greedy. Everyone. Even Peace Corp workers who get a stipend and health insurance. The priest at my church is paid. The world is made up of greedy, greedy people.

Yes very greedy. I choose to reject societies standards and work for free. I also help to clean their home because I am not selfish.

Come on over to my house - I'm a dentist and I love teeth so much that I always drill, fill and pull for free!
