Subject: Re: Nanny pay in NorthEast Author: Julie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:39:25 02/19/04 Thu I think your vacation/sick days are very good. Not a lot of employers offer sick days and most only give a weeks paid vacation. That said, I seriously disagree with not paying your nanny on the books with taxes, by doing that you are cheating her out of her social security when she gets older. I currently live in the NYC area and I moved there from Florida so I can relate to your two geographical pay scales, I think you pay a fair amount per hour for the Jacksonville area, with the vacation and sick days plus room and board it seems a proper pay for a nanny in that area (like I said you are offering more in the vacation/sick days that a lot of others do in my experience). Please consider putting your nanny on the books when you move, it's her future you are paying taxes for and it's really not hard to figure the taxes. >In Philadelphia we pay a live in nanny 8 $ an hour(no >taxes) with room and board, six paid sick days (or >paid out as a bonus if not used), two weeks paid >vacation. Two small children (9mo and 2.5 years). >Our nanny also does a little tidying up and laundry >for the kids. We are moving to Jacksonville. Any >comments on our pay rates? We want to be in the right >ballpark when we advertise after we move. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
