Hourly rate for a full-time nanny?
I am a full time nanny (40+ hours a week) for one child (2 1/2 years old). I have been with the family for over a year & a half. I started off making $10/hour, then after working a year, was given a $1 raise. So I currently make $11.
I feel like this may not be fair pay. I am fully responsible for the child -- including doing her laundry, cleaning up after her messes, etc. However, I also have to take her to two classes (singing & art) per week and she is in a preschool type program 2 days a week for only 2 hours. I do a lot of driving so sometimes I feel like I should be paid mileage.
Also, I was not hired to do housework, but find myself always being responsible for keeping the kitchen clean (unloading & loading dishwasher, cleaning counters, mopping) and even do the parents laundry a few times a week. I have so many more responsibilities than when I first started and I don't feel like I am being fully compensated.
Would asking for mileage or a pay increase be reasonable?
I would recommend you ask for mileage, as this is very reasonable considering you are using your own car, paying for gas, plus the wear and tear on your car.
However, $11 and hour for one child domestic work is pretty descent. You are being paid more than a lot of people doing similar work, many in the domestic profession make closer to minimum wage.
What also needs to be taken into consideration is who are you working for? I know you don't know exactly what their income is, but I'm sure you know what they do for a living. $400 plus a week for childcare for one child is more than what the typically person pays. Basically, you should consider if they can afford it, before asking for a raise.
Also, if you do decide to ask for a raise, make a strong point that your responsibilities have increased. If they can't afford to pay you more, or refuse, you can tacifully say that you took the job as a nanny for their childcare, not as a housekeeper.
