Nanny or Babysitter Salary

Before you make an salary offer to a Nanny or Babysitter, be sure you are aware of your legal responsibilities in hiring someone to work in your home. Salary is not dependent on the need of the individual, rather on the value they provide and is also based on their past experience and quality of their work. The salary you hand over to your nanny also depends on whether or not she is a full time or a part time nanny, and whether or not you provide her with food and cover other utility costs. Number of children in the family also needs to be a factor. The Nanny’s responsibility level is raised with the amount of children that she must look after and take care of.
One way to make your decisions educated when you are thinking about a salary for your nanny is to simply ask other people you know have hired a nanny/babysitter, so, ask them how much their nanny gets paid and what the negotiations of the contract are. Call local nanny agencies in your area and talk to nannies about what their expectations are. Check the nanny wanted sections in newspapers and websites to see how much people in your area are offering.
