I have over 8 years of childcare experience, but only 1 year of full time nanny experience. I think most families are more interested in your personality and how well you fit in than with your experience. I did not have to give up my happiness, but the job was very demanding. I had no set hours, and was paid a flat day rate. BUT I worked 7 days and then had 7 days off, so I was essentially only working for half the year. This made it very easy to plan trips/vacations. They used a payroll company and provided vacation days and health insurance. Not a bad deal. It was a celebrity family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-36956461352888270892011-08-21T11:30:51.857-04:002011-08-21T11:30:51.857-04:00I agree with Veronica- Nannies can't expect to...I agree with Veronica- Nannies can't expect to earn six figures- unless they are working 24/7- or for a high profile family.<br /><br />I have seen job postings on the top notch nanny agency placement sites for $75,000 to $100,000. But they are few and far between and most nannies can't live up to the families expectations or job requirements.<br /><br />I think most nannies (live- in or live out) who work the standard 45-60 hours per week, in any part of the U.S. can expect to earn $30,000 to $65,000 per year on average- regardless of their exp./ and job duties. If the salary is higher than $65,000 that is for a beck and call nanny with many special skills.<br /><br />The highest salaries from a nanny I know personally is $75,000 to $100,000- but are employed by a very wealthy family and the other by a celebrity. From speaking with them I know they can NEVER say no to anything, or a last min. request- and many times they had to cancel their time off plans to accomodate the family- or they'd be out of a job. So, IMO...a salary of $60,000+ is in exchange for the nannies personal life/happiness.<br /><br />However, a nanny can start at $40,000 and if she stays with a famlily for many years she can work her way up to $60,000. But of course after that time- the children grow up an the family no longer needs a nanny. Then the nanny has to find another job- and most likely she will not find at job starting at $60,000- so she has to lower her salary expectations. This I say, from my own first hand exp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-2424323963887267272011-08-20T18:55:08.698-04:002011-08-20T18:55:08.698-04:00I think it depends on the family and their needs. ...I think it depends on the family and their needs.

I don't think many nannies even make 6 figures I don't expect to ever. We aren't white collar workers even with education. Never will be.Veronica Smithersnoreply@blogger.com
