I have one child with ADHD and autism and $12/hr?!!!! That’s laughable. I don't think I could trade that to work in an office for half as much.ĭamn. Even though I'm still unemployed, I've decided to keep pursuing being a nanny, because it makes me happy, I get paid, and I love what I do. I think I'll continue taking my chances working in private homes, with a contract, vacation time, and clear benefits that I've earned throughout my career. Wall street would grind to a halt if we went on strike. In contrast to the NDWA nanny training I took in 2019, they taught us what the going rate is, what we are worth when you take into account experience and trainings, and most importantly, that domestic work is important. They were like 'this job sucks but you have to just deal with it.' I sat in those virtual classes and had to turn my camera off so they didn't see me cry. But everything I saw indicated that not only would I make HALF as much as I did last year, I'd also be treated like shit by pretty much everyone - patients, bosses, other staff.

I did job training programs early in the pandemic so I could transition into the field of healthcare. So you can sit on your ass, make 40k a year, and die? Also many high profile families use agencies, not app platforms. You want a 80-100K job, make sure your resume is grammatically correct, error free. Along with education, who are you? What is your child care philosophy? You are a whole package. ( I am also great with children lol) but branding is everything in 2020. I let families know this, because who wouldn’t want a previous Beverly Hills nanny. I have worked from Beverly Hills to Atlanta. Set your rate, be picky about your families. I am sure it is easier for first time nannies to land a higher paying job with a degree but if you don’t have a degree, experience, experience, experience will take you where you want to go. A degree goes a long way, but not always necessary. Presentation, professionalism and etiquette is very important with high profile families. You sound like you have excellent experience. I am unsure of your ages or years of experience. I’m proud of our dang big girl jobs! I wouldn’t have it any other way.Įdit: To all you male nannies - I’m proud of our big kid jobs! I see you. I just wanted to say to each and every one of you beautiful nannies. We nannies might even cook, clean, run errands for parents, take care of pets, etc.

We are with those babies every single day, caring for them and helping them learn and grow. It really frustrates me when people ask things like, “When are you getting a big girl job?” or “What career do you want when you grow up/this job is over?”.īEING A NANNY IS A CAREER! It’s a dang big girl job! We are providing a safe, loving, nurturing environment for little ones while parents work. Also, pay is on the lower end of the scale to deal with 2 children, possibly a 3rd when the Kindergartener is home, all while dealing with autism and ADHD - that could be a whole different reddit post! Wait hold up - did I read that right?! They need an new nanny while their current nanny is transitioning to her “BIG GIRL JOB?!”. Background check and driving record to be checked during interview.” Must have prior nanny experience, infant experience, and experience with autism and ADHD is a huge plus! Pay is very competitive at $12/hr. Mostly you will be caring for our 6-month-old and 2.5-year-old. We are flexible with hours (except Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons - must be available 2-6).

“We are looking for a part-time nanny to join our family 2-3 days/week and eventually full time, as our current nanny transitions to her “big girl job”. Here’s a gem I wanted to share with y’all! So, on my downtime I like to casually browse just to see what jobs/hours/pays are being offered. Not sure what flair to put - so I just put vent!
