advice needed on nanny pay

Hello,

?

I live in the UWS & have found an amazing nanny. ?She's very warm, fluent in Spanish, has her papers, & is great with kids. ?She will also do light housekeeping, ironing, etc. & a lot of our cooking (she's an amazing cook). ?She charges $120/day (for 8:30-5:30). ?Do you think this is reasonable? ?Any advice is welcome. ?Thanks!

    How many and how old are your children?  We live on the UWS and our current nanny has been with us since my son was 6 weeks old.  We pay her a base of $500/week for 9-6 and provide her w/a metrocard.  I work overnights once a week and she gets overtime of $13/hr.  Her only other obligation is doing my son's laundry as we have a housekeeper too. As our son grows, she will also be preparing his meals and we will most likely give her a raise when she is doing more than changing diapers and feeding him.  Hope that helps.

    I am not sure of the going rate, but one thing to factor into the equation is whether or not you're paying her cash vs. taxable income.

    thanks - I will have just one baby, and she will do most of the family cooking, light housekeeping, & watch the baby when I run out.

    If you like her, GRAB HER!  That's about average price.
