The following is an overview of the nanny industry and what is expected from the nanny, as well as the family.
Permanent nannies usually consider their permanent placement family their primary job and source of income.
They normally work 4-5 days a week, 9-10 hours per day. Although this is true, part-time nannies, working the part-time schedules mentioned above, are in big demand as well.
A nanny’s typical salary would vary, depending on the type of work a family may be requesting in addition to childcare, (i.e., cleaning, cooking, transporting children, shopping, pet care, etc.).
Salaries are negotiated between the nanny and the family.
Salaries usually range between: $10.00-$20.00/hour for part-time schedules under 24 hrs/week.
Salaries usually range between: $1800.00-$2500.00/month for part-time schedules of 25-39 hrs/week.
Salaries usually range between: $2000.00-$3000.00/month for full-time schedules of 40+ hours/week or more.
Many times families will discuss health insurance options with the nanny. Maybe the nanny will get half of her insurance paid for, or may be put on the family’s insurance.
In addition, vacation time, sick leave and any other concerns need to be discussed in advance with the nanny, prior to decisions being made.
