I work 50-60 hours per week, $16 an hour and overtime starts at 40.

Weekly after taxes I make about $900-1000 per week.

I'm not in the DC area.

Less than $25/hr isn't practical for twin infants.

Do you think most families find it easier to hire a nanny who is only looking at gross wages, rather than having a set hourly range they expect AND OT where applicable?

If so, why do you think your 'formula" above is standard? Is it because nannies may not know they have a right to be paid OT, or because they just want a gros rate that is acceptable to them and don't care what their hourly rate is?


At the end of the day, many nannies out there are more focused on total income than hourly rates via part time work or less hours. We all know that to hire a good after school nanny you often pay a higher rate for those 5 hours a day than if that same nanny was working for you 10 hours a day.
Of someone needs $800-1090 a week they will go for nanny Shares and full time work, if they need a filler job for non-class days or simply don't want to work a full day they won't look into those jobs.
And many families know what you previously made, number of hours, kids, location , etc and also the market rate for what they are looking for.
It all works out and good matches are made.

This is exactly how broken English immigrant nannies get cheated. No wonder they're such a bargain for their unscrupulous American employers. How shameful.

Many of these company owners are shysters with their deceptive magic "formulas" they recommend to their parent employer clients. They apparently think nannies are stupid andd can't do simple math. I had an employer who suggested using one of them.

I just said no. End of story.


No, many professional nannies are paid a weekly gross amount, it makes the w-2 filing easier too. each year it increases 3-5%. They don't even think about per hour whatever. But if they had to answer that question and worked over 40 hours a week, they'd apply that formula.

Nannies are paid by the hour BY LAW. Nice try.


And?
And they are paid weekly or bimonthly.

Not for me. You are working an extra 10 hours. I don't accept positions that lower my hourly rate for more hours, especially if the position typically requires you to work all hours vs a lot of time off.


Awesome work ethic. Dovetails nicely with the amount of hours you spend in dcum.
