NANNY SALARY

When a Nanny is appointed the family thinks of what salary should be offered. This question is important for the consideration of many factors. In America a nanny salary is between $300 and $800 per week, or $7.25 to $18 per hour. So you have to determine an appropriate nanny salary which is fair for your family and your nanny. Begin by asking the following questions.

• Experience level of nanny.
• The nanny had what type of schooling and education? The education he had is relevant to her job of nanny?
• What is area and what is it’s cost of the area where you live?
• Whether Nanny certified in CPR? Is she having first aid training?
• The nanny will do additional duties for your family such as housekeeping?
• The job of nanny is live-in or live-out
• The nanny job is part or full-time.

The answers that you and your nanny provide make you comfortable in deciding the nannies salary.

The next step includes that what the nanny’s salary will include viz. payment of nanny’s taxes, nanny’s health care.  Will the nanny get payment for vacations or sick time or facility of overtime? These questions answers are based on base salary pay.

Some experienced nannies have already set a nanny salary in mind. In this case your family can afford for payment. But if there is a case that you like the nanny but the nanny’s demand is high then at this situation you should be creative. For example if you hire a live-in nanny you have to contribute for her college tuition and to give her small nanny salary with free accommodation.  In case of barter agreement you have to consider giving the nanny use of car or paying her mobile phone bills.

The Nanny Salary survey was recently updated by the International Nanny Association.  It added information and guidance on establishing the salary. It includes the information about the nanny’s average education and the type and number of children the nanny is caring. This survey helps in appropriate salary range and the type of perks expected by a nanny for her employers.

Above all, be honest and open with you ideal nanny candidate.  Apply the good way of treating a hiring process so there should be a good relationship between you and nanny in for the coming years.
