Tell her to go now. You will instantly feel relieved.

There is so much fantastic care out there I don't see why you'd continue to entertain a freeloader with an attitude problem.

8:42 makes me sad. I bet they live in a huge house, drive fancy expensive cars and send their children to the best school and pay their nanny a measly $10 an hour and work the nanny 50 hours a week. It's gross. How do you sleep at night? Oh you get your nanny manicures, that must justify it to you. I guarantee the nanny would prefer more money to manicures. - former nanny

Live-in nanny here. There's no way that I would accept that.

Oh, and 8.42? This is my normal package:
Access to all household utilities or accounts (including netflix/hulu/cable), no cost to me
Employer-provided cell phone or partial reimbursement for work usage
Employer-provided vehicle, either for work only or my exclusive use
Employer-provided food consumed within the house or while with the children (including off hours and restaurants)
20 hours per week minimum, up to 24/7
No housekeeping for employer or common areas unless negotiated for extra compensation, and children take priority over all housework
Educational costs paid by employer, both for kids and anything required by employer for me to complete
No overtime unless in md, ca, or ny
Contract that covers most eventualities
Minimum $13/hour for care of any children younger than 5, with special needs or with behavior/attitude issues; minimum $11.50 for driving only
All car insurance paid by employer, included on house insurance policy
Sometimes toiletries are employer-provided (usually when sharing a bathroom with a teen girl using the same shampoo/conditioner)
On the books

"According to the 2012 INA Nanny Salary and Benefits Survey: The national average hourly rate for babysitting or short-term assignments is $16 per hour. The national average gross weekly salary for full-time live-out nannies is $705. The national average gross weekly salary for full-time live-in nannies is $652."

Pretty funny. Who reported those numbers? Just random people? No verification, so it's useless.

$10 an hour? Yikes! What's that after taxes? Terrible. 50 hours a week possibly? I hope they get over time. This doesn't sound like the norm in Washington, D.C. Where do you live pp?

Live in's....from research...

$10 an hour/max
Pay there own groceries, extra curriculum activities, cell phone, cable etc
40-50 hours a week
When children are busy or playing within themselves he or she does the housekeeping.

It's not rocket science people.

My guess is OP probably works her live in to the bone, I am guessing 6-7 days a week. So what if she has the morning off if she is working 7 days a week. I am also guessing that OP pays her nanny crap. I am also guessing that OP is so entitled that she thinks that her nanny should be "greatful" to her for all the free manicures she gives her. Or OP must be a troll if she isn't replying.

Would love to hear the going rate for a live in? Do you pay when you travel? Do they pay rent? Do they pay Internet/cable/food/clothing?


Live ins DO NOT pay rent but are paid a lower hourly rate. So.so. they are not paid 1.5 for OT but are paid straight timebforvall hours worked over 40. Yes, you pay her no matter what. Cheap cretin.
