I've been applying for some nannying jobs and quite a few parents have been asking me what I charge, as opposed to setting the wage.
One particular job I've enquired about is working as a nanny part-time, living in for 2 nights (as the mother leaves for work very early in the morning (4am)) and working 2 days.
So say staying over Sunday evening, ready for work Monday morning, working Monday, staying over again, for work on Tuesday. Then the rest of the time living back at home.
So although it is technically live-in (I know nannies earn a little less for this), it isn't proxy parenting as I would finish work about 5pm each evening and not needed again until 4am-ish.
So what would you charge for this..? Hourly rate from 4am.. even though I'd still be asleep until the two children get up?
Or less than hourly rate as I'd be live-in and so would have all my meals e.c.t provided - but it's only for 2 days.
I understand this is a bit of an 'odd' job, not exactly a typical nanny job, so would welcome any thoughts on what wage should be acceptable.
In my other part-time nanny job I'm on £10 per hour gross.
