It is ok for...1000 per/month for a nanny living with me and taking care of my 2 kids. Free of rent and food.

Question

I'm needing a Nanny for a year; living with me and taking care of my 2 kids and my home. Free of rent and food..Do you thing that is fair if I pay her 1,000 per/month?

Thanks for your answer...

Answer 1

it all depends on the bills she already has to pay for, like phone, car, insurance, etc. you have to think about that. if she has all that to pay for it may not be enough.

Answer 2

It's not much money, but as long as she has acceptable, private accomodations and quality food... it might work.

Answer 3

I think that's great for someone who is young and is otherwise unattached! I would have JUMPED on that in my early 20's!

Good luck!

Answer 4

I think that it's a fair amount considering that her living expenses are pretty much taken care of. But that would be up to her to decide if that is a fair amount.  

Answer 5

hmmm....you know, i actually think that's ok. it's not much money but if you're supplying food and rent is obviously free (as are utilities, i assume) then i think it's OK.  maybe throw in use of the car as well....

you can at least advertise it as $1000/mo and if you don't get any takers then bump it up to $1200 or $1400.  

Answer 6

h**l yeah that's a good price how about you dump your nanny and let me work! kidding.

Answer 7

Yeah, that sounds pretty fair. It comes out to about $35 dollars a day. Doesn't sound like much, but considering she has a free home with food what you pay her is totally for savings, which is better than a lot of other people who pay rent and buy their own food do.
