so ladies, I am thinking of nannying and babysitting on the side to save/make money..now does anyone have any idea on what I should ask as a wage? I got a degree, years of experience, a car, a smile, a song and dance?
thanks!
I know caitlin got the downlow on this for sure...
you may have posted this before you and I talked yesterday, but I say $18 for 2 kids, $20 for 3. Extra if it's babies in diapers :)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think, Cait?
Depending on the family and what they want from you - be careful of all the gas it takes to cart them around - I charge extra for that (outside of hourly wages or take their car) and also put a cancellation/sickness policy in effect - say they cancel w/less than 24 hr notice, charge them for all the lost hours. What ever your base rate is (sug. $15-18) I would add $2 per additional child and don't forget to discuss what happens with play-dates (don't take care of other kids w/o pay unless it is totally worth it to you)
