8 Benefits to Consider Negotiating Into Your Nanny Contract

[@TravelSeets]

I’m paid $28 for 1 child just for reference, that’s in Austin, TX

[@TheNannySolution]

Sounds like you are happy with that rate.

[@booklilli]

This is great! I was so thankful to include Lora's minimum Nanny Industry Standards in my course. Also, MIT has a living wage calculator that might help parents come to a strong wage offer.

[@TheNannySolution]

Great tip. Thanks.

I love this video Michelle, very helpful!

[@TheNannySolution]

I’m glad it was helpful!

[@JasmineSchilling]

Love your videos! They've helped so much! Question about the benefits in this video: what if a nanny is part-time, is she still entitled to these benefits? If not, are there supposed to be any benefits for a part-time nanny?

[@TheNannySolution]

It really depends on where you live and how many hours you work part time. I would check with your Employment Service Branch.

I feel like I keep getting sick because I'm exposed to the current children in my family that I work for. Unfortunately, because of this I've already used all my sick days. I definitely also don't want to keep getting sick but it keeps happening.

[@TheNannySolution]

I am sorry to hear that. Getting sick from the children is something that happens to nannies a lot. Can you sit down and talk to the family about the fact that you are getting sick from the children? You can try to negotiate more sick days if you get sick right after the children you care for are sick.

Oh, no! That's not fun! Our little citizens are very germie! I get it! I am a nanny of 3 kiddos 2, 6, and 8. They are so amazing and kind. The kids are brilliant. I have been with them for a year! My family is very outdoorsy, hands-on, and we don't watch television or play video games. I haven't been sick yet! I take great care of my body by clean eating (no sugar or processed food, fast food. I drink a gallon of water everyday, and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. That has to stand for something. My immune system is strong! Even when my kiddos get sick, cough, and snot on me, I don't get sick! Just do the best that you can! I'm sure that everything will work out ❤!

[@milysharko9164]

What if you work part time 30 hours a week? Do any of the the benefits change? Mainly in terms of how many sick days and vacation days a nanny should receive.

[@TheNannySolution]

That will depend on where you live and what the employment standards laws are. You should follow those.

[@rileylawson6447]

Hi there, what is the protocol when your two weeks paid vacation is unequal to (less than) 4% of your pay?

[@TheNannySolution]

Can you give me an example. I am not sure I understand. Here is some info that might help: www.ontario.ca/document/your-guide-employment-standards-act-0/vacation

[@hannahscott6604]

It should be paid completely ?? so if you get 30 an hour , you get 30 an hour. If you get 20 an hour, you get 20.

[@cheffggirl]

I also have in my contract a $150 overnight fee.

[@TheNannySolution]

Make sure you are getting paid at least minimum wage for every hour you work. $150 for overnight seems low.

[@cheffggirl]

@@TheNannySolution I get paid for my regular hours and the $150 for spending the night. Does that sound better?

[@charliebatsnyax8681]

I got rejected yesterday because of my age.they need someone who is 30 and above.Im 27 is it okay to lie about my age nextime?💗

[@TheNannySolution]

Here in Canada it is illegal to discriminate based on age. I am not sure where you are located but you may want to look into the legality of what happened.

[@TeresaBenson]

No don't lie about your age. If you are in the USA that is age discrimination and it's illegal. I wonder why they are being semi specific on age?
