Subject:How Much $ Should a " Live ~ Out " Nanny make ?
|
Hello All,
I am a Nanny for a family with one child *( 18 mths )* and another one due in February. I am making 300 $ a week currently, if you break that down to the 50 hours a week that I am working for this family ....that is 6 $ an hour. I have been doing child care for 5 years now, this is the first time that I have gone into a family's home and been a nanny tho. Any help with this matter will be helpful.
Thanks so much ! !

|
A number of years back a few families at the center I worked for asked me to watch their children while they went out of town for a week. I consulted my director - unsure of the centers policy on this and to find out how much to charge. My director gave me a piece of advice that I've never forgotten. She told me that I should not accept anything less than I was making working for her. Call child care centers and preschools in your area and ask what the starting salary is for someone with your education and experience level. This will give you a good place to start. Then make a list of the duties you perform and the responsibilities you have and talk with the family. I personally feel that anyone who spends their day looking after the needs of someone else's pride and joy is worth considerably more than $6.00 per hour! Don't sell yourself short.
Good luck!

Call around and see what other people are making with your educational background in schools/preschools, etc. If I went to work as a nanny, I would expect to be paid similarly to what I would be paid in a "professional setting" plus maybe some more if my responsibilites were more than what I would have (like driving, cooking, laundry, etc). If you have no degree and $6 an hour is what you would be paid at a daycare center, then I would ask for maybe a little more. But if you are a master's degree and would be making much more, I would ask for that. You should also count as part of your salary any extra benefits you have, like insurance or food allowances.
I also worked as a nanny for a family and after I left to work somewhere that paid more, the family was shocked. They considered me to be a babysitter and were wanting to pay me only what the high school girl next door charged despite all my extra duties and the unplanned hours I was working. They ended up paying the next nanny much more than me because she would only work for more.

Subject:Live-out Nanny Pay
|
We had a live-out nanny for two years, 2001-2003. We hired her through a nanny service, and she had 5 years of experience working at a child care center in our area. She brought her 4 year old daughter with her, which we preferred to allow our older son to have interaction with a playmate.
Living in the DC/Baltimore metro area, we paid her $500/week in 2003, which covered her being in our home for 9 hours per day. We also paid the employer share of her SS, unemployment insurance, and maintained workman's comp insurance through our homeowner's insurance policy. She also had 3 weeks of paid vacation (but note that she NEVER took a sick day and was late only 2 days in 2 years). Her salary would have been slightly higher had she not brought her daughter. In addition to salary, we paid our nanny for mileage when she drove our son to and from preschool, and we paid for her daughter to attend a summer preschool session one year. And we bought toys for her daughter to use at our home (kitchen set, dolls, etc) since we had only boys.
The nanny service we used advertises for nanny jobs, with salaries of $10-15/hour currently. As a comparison, when we let our nanny go, we paid about $190/week for preschool daycare for our then 3.5 yr old. The fee is about $210/week now. Infant care at most daycare centers in our area is $330/week minimum. We are in a higher cost area than some parts of the country, but hope this helps provide a frame of reference as you try to determine your worth. I would think two children would warrant a raise, but not double the pay...Keep in mind what other duties you may perform (laundry, dishes) as you consider what you should be paid.
It was hard to let our nanny go, but we couldn't justify the cost once our oldest started school full-time and our youngest was ready for preschool. I suggest you check with professional nanny services in the area where you work, to find the going hourly rate. You can pretend you're interested in jobs - even if you aren't.
Good luck!

$14 an hour for 3 children is pretty accurate for a nanny. Again, a lot depends on where you live, etc. $300 a week is extremely low, even if you have no experience or education.

The 2 young ladies that babysit my child when we want to go out get paid $15 per hour. Her daycare during the week is $390.00 a week. I want my daughter to be with a competent and loving caretaker whether it be during the week when I'm at work or on the weekends when I want to go out with my husband. No, we don't make a ton of money. Our daughter is the most precious thing in our lives and comes before anything else. If someone cannot afford to pay a nanny what they deserve then maybe they should be a stay at home mom or dad.

I have been working for a family with two children (2- and 4-year-old) for 3 years now. I started at $7.50/hour and have only once since had a raise; I now receive $8/hour. I do light cleaning and cooking for this family, all of their laundry, some driving to lessons, light errand-running, etc. I have no idea what I should be asking to be paid. And I feel strange asking for more money, though I know I deserve it, because I almost feel as though they should have given me a raise by now.

I thinkn it would have to depend on several things. Do they provide insurance? Do you have to pay taxes out of it? Even with that, I think it sounds low. Do they pay you extra for working after hours? If you know anyone doing this for another family, call and ask what they pay. I know of one person here that does what you do and she gets $8 an hour to keep one child. But they pay in cash, no insurance, and she doesn't have to report her income. They also do not pay her when the child is in preschool and that is considered her off time.

I think it totally depends on what it costs to live in that area. Calculate your expenses and a little cushion for savings and such and that should determine your pay. Like, if you live with your parents and go to school, you should probably charge about $8-9, depending on the area you live (and where they live - if the parents are dr. and lawyers, they can afford more). If you're supporting yourself or a family, charge what you need to. You're working full time at skilled labor and should be able to live like it.

I think the advice here is good, but also think about the family. Are you in this for the money or is it something you also like to do? Paying 25,000 a year in child care is a lot for someone who makes 50,000 or less. That's why I am a stay at home mom, although I would like to have a career.

Subject:if a lawyer enjoys his job??

So if I find a lawyer or a doctor that enjoys their careers that means I can pay them 1/2 the rate they are asking???? You have to dislike your job to earn a fair salary? What would you think if you dh came home from work and said his salary was cut because he was enjoying his work too much????
I was under the impression people that enjoy their career tend to do a better job at it than those that are unhappy.
Our world runs on money, everyone works for money that is just how it is.Any family than can afford to hire a nanny can afford to pay for it. There are no slaves or indentured servants in this country. They should pay a fair wage.
As much as teachers, childcare providers, nannies etc enjoy working with children why should they not earn a fair wage for a job that shapes the next generation?

Not sure where you live Denise, but I live in Canada and for my job taking care of 3 children, a 6 wk. old, 3 year old, and 5 year old, I get paid $10/hour.
I would say that your daily rate of $30 is well under what it should be.
I would suggest the same thing to you that was suggested to me on this message board a while ago: tell your employer that you are increasing your daily/hourly rate. And then ask them for their feedback. If they really seem hesitant to pay you more, simply ask them how they are feeling about how much they pay you. If for some reason they feel that they do not wish to pay you more, etc. you can either choose to stay at your present rate or consider getting a new job. I work for a few families on occasion and when I approached one of the families about increasing my rate, they were a little bit hesitant. But I did tell them that if they weren't comfortable increasing my rate, I would be happy to stay at my old rate.
Hope this helps!

This isn't so much a matter of how much they ought to pay but how much you need to live. I work in Seattle so I charge $13/hour. Calculate it out and see how much you need to make to cover your expenses and live comfortable. I'm not talking spa treatment and macadamia nuts every day, but as much as an average person w/ experience in a skilled position would make. Go to your employers, let them know that this is how much you need to make. Expenses change with new living arrangements, inflation, and all that. Plus, most other positions will give you a raise after a year. Also, you probably aren't getting health care so that's another expense to account for. The point is that if you go to your employer with numbers and facts, not just "I should get paid more", and tell them simply what you need to live they'll probably do whatever is in their power/budget to meet that. After all, you're caring for the most important things in their lives - they'll want to keep you :)

I am a little shocked by how much (or little actually) people are making. I am a nanny on Long Island, in a nice but not outrageously affluent area. When I began, i was caring for a one year old girl, 50 hours a week. I have several years of experience and am college educated, and started at 675 a week before taxes, 11/hr for extra babysitting. They have recently adopted another child, who is one year old (their first daughter is also adopted) and am expecting a raise. As far as I am concerned, regardless of where you are living, no adult childcare provider should be accepting less than 10/hr for your services. Keep in mind that you are a professional responsible for the most precious thing in this couple's life, and give yourself credit for that. We have the most important job there is!

My friend and I wanted to start a babysitting service. We were thinking of putting together a group of mabye 2 or 3 early teens and a couple of preteens. Of course the teens would be doing the main sitting but the preteens could help if there were more than 3 kids to sit for. Anyway, how much should we charge hourly? Is 5 dollars/hour per child good for the first 2 kids and any additional kids would be $2.50/hour per child? Or should we lower the price?

No Way! Do NOT lower your rates!! Setting a high standard with people sets the bar high in regards to respect for all child care providers. Child care providers are seen as second class citizens in this society. I am a second grade teacher and am making just above the poverty level. In todays world Money equals respect, babysitters are the people at the root of this issue and they need to expect more from the people who are "employing" them. I babysit for extra cash and I expect $15/hr for 1 child and $1 more/hr for each additional child. If you are confident in yourself and can backup why you deserve this pay then the family shoud understand that. Show people what you are capable of, demonstrate excellent child care! If you can respect yourself and value your work then others will too.

I am a live-out nanny for 3 children. The twins are turning 1 next week and I have been here since they were born. Their brother is 5 years old and has been diagnosed with Autism. The 5 year old goes to school most of the day now...but when he is at home I have been asked to do a fair amount of developmental activities with him. I work in the house everyday from 8am until 1pm and then work in the parents office from 1-5 (They own their own business) I have been asked to do a fair amount of housework, including, dishes, bottles, vacuuming, ironing, laundry and a lot of others. I make $285 a week and KNOW that I am being underpaid, however, the children are my cousins (the parents being my aunt and uncle.) I have been working for them for a year and feel like the best time to renegotiate is at the one year mark...like a yearly review if you will. I want to ask for more money, but I need to have the research to justify it. Can anyone give me some advice?

That sounds like an appropriate price to me you will they will only be awake for 3 hrs or so so that is $50 for the three hours. Hopefully nothing else will happen but that sound appropriate to me.

An Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
The British Government is planning to make it easier to schools to "opt in" to the state sector. This would allow more minority faith schools to recieve state funding. The Association of Muslim schools received £100,000 from the British government to make the transition smoother for more of the 120 independent Muslim schools. Muslim children in state schools feel isolated and confused about who they are. This can cause dissatisfaction and lead them into criminality, and the lack of a true understanding of Islam can ultimately make them more susceptible to the teachings of fundamentalists like Christians during the middle ages and Jews in recent times in Palestine. Fundamentalism is nothing to do with Islam and Muslim; you are either a Muslim or a non-Muslim.
97% of Muslim pupils are in state schools. There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be converted to Muslim community schools, manage and control by Muslim educational Trusts or Charities. State funded Muslim schools make sense. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam's teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. None of the British Muslims convicted following the riots in Bradford and Oldham in 2001 or any of those linked to the London bombings had been to Islamic schools. An American Think Tank studied the educational back ground of 300 Jihadists; none of them were educated in Pakistani Madrasas. They were all Western educated by non-Muslim teachers. Bilingual Muslim children need bilingual Muslim teachers as role models.
The national school systems of social democratic countries such as Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark are based on the principle that children can choose schools in either the state or independent sector funded by the taxpayers. CRE chairman stepped up his campaign to segregate black school boys to raise their academic achievement. A Cambridge University study found that single-sex classes could make a big difference for boys. They perform better in single-sex classes. The research is promising because male students in the study saw noticeable gains in the grades. The study confirms the Islamic notion that academic achievement is better in single-sex classes.

According to Professor Tariq Ramadan, young Muslims have two parents, one their Muslim community and the other British society. He blames both parents for all their problems. Both of them could not and still not able to develop British Islamic Identity. They do not know where they belong. They are mis- fit not only for the host society because of their colour of skin but also for the Muslim community because they are unable to talk with their parents and elders in their own languages. They have become notoriously monolingual like native Britis.
Muslims suffered discrimination in all walks of life, while they have contributed for the advancement of British economy. Now the second and third generation born and educated in the United Kingdom is blamed for the act of violence. Those who indulge in violence are not the product of Muslim schools. They come from well-educated middle class families. They are even educated in western institutions and liberal environment. It must be understood clearly that terror bombing is basically a political and not a religious response. A modern educated youth is far more aware of injustices being done to Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir and Chechnya. They also become aware of the past colonial history and its continuation in modern times to varied degrees. It was not hatred of the West but hatred to wards its policies. One must distinguish between the two. In case of London bombing, a life of total alienation led to a burst of rage in Leeds, according to Amy waldman of New York Times. These young men are motivated by both injustices at home and abroad. Their alienation and frustration play no lesser role than the sense of injustices by the western rulers against Muslims abroad. I am afraid even fatwas by Muslim scholars will not de-motivate them, unless suitable policies are adopted at home and abroad. Attacking radical preachers is a way of avoiding facing up the problems within mainstream British society. Banning extreme groups and exporting their leaders will just push the problem underground.
There are many underlying factors to see the unrest among Muslim youths. Much has been said about the failure of Masajid to provide institutional avenues for frustrated Muslim youths to express their discontent. Elders are out of touch with the Muslim youths who then turn towards alternative channels to express their discontent. It is a fact that British racism is the greatest recruiting tool of so called Islamic terrorism. Muslims are expected to keep their faith entirely out of politics, yet faith plays a crucial role in the United States politics.

Subject:Question on nannies
|
I am helping a friend look for a nanny for his 2 kids and i really have no experience in this matter. I need to know how much pay should be offered to a nanny. The children are a girl 6, and a boy 9. The hours needed would be m-f 5:45 till 8:30 (the nanny could still sleep b/c the kids don't get up untill about 7:30) she would have to get them off to school and untill 2:30 the day is hers, then it would only be from 2:30 till 6:00 p.m. at the latest, then she would be free. He would only ask for very light housework (mostly not even any just to clean behind herself). He would need to work some Saturdays and need the kids to be watched on some days of holiday school breaks. We don't know what to offer and we have got a lott of high figures, the way we see it is that on a week with no saturday and with school the nanny would only be liable for the kids at most 6 hours and on top of the pay they would be living rent free, in their own room and have pretty much use of everthing in the house as well as alott of free time. Can you anyone give any suggestions on how much someone should get paid (minimum) for this????

Hey! I would kill for 18/20 per hour. :) What area are you living in? If you are in a big city, that may work. If you are talking of a professional family in a 400k house, that would be fine. But, if you are talking of a couple who make less than 100k per year, that would be a stretch. Check what your local day cares are charging, and your nanny friends. (At my day care, a 4-month old child's parents would pay 170/week. That would include all the curriculum, care from 7am - 6pm and I provide all the food)
I wouldn't worry about not having specific experience with twins. :)

Subject:I need some advice asap

I have only been babysitting for a family in Versailles for 2 days and I already want to quit. I think it is because I live in Lexington. Most of the time it is just 1 3 year old but sometimes there are 4 children. I am NOT getting paid enough and they are not paying me enough money for the gas and wear and tear on my car. It is 15-20 miles away. It takes me 40 min each way. She wants to pay me $7 for 1 kid plus more for all 4 plus $25 a week for gas. This is crap because I am going to just break even and babysit for free at this rate. I mean they need to just get a babysitter who lives near them. I am about to turn 23 and I am very mature, responsible, dependable, caring, and loving. I majored in sociology and want to go to grad school next fall for an art therapy masters program. Please help me figure out what to nicely tell this mom. I mean she is really great and her kids are sweet and well behaved but this is a little ridiculous. I am not being mean, I am being reasonable.

I have been a nanny to a family of four children for 2 1/2 years. The girls are five, three, 18months, and a newborn that is two months old. I get paid $7.00 an hour for watching three and $8.00 an hour if I watch the newborn also. I origninally went to this family for cleaning jobs at $15.00 and hour and she gives me a lot of work so I deal with the low pay for babysitting but I still don't think its worth it exspecially since I am 18yrs old and have bills to pay. I would appreciate some feedback and an opinion as to how much I should really be getting paid.
Thanks, Ashley

At college I babysit for a family 15-20 hours/wk for $11/hr. They have 3 children under the age of 4. They really want me to be their summer babysitter full time (approx 40 hours/week), however I will be living at home with my parents in the summer which is approximately 45 minutes away. I am unsure how much to charge them for gas, wear and tear, etc. I have another summer opportunity only twenty minutes away from my home at $11/hour but I do not like the family as much.
