[@gabysoto7663]

I’ve been a nanny for the past 5 years, and have 10+ years of babysitting experience. Both families I’ve worked for have been high profile families. Experience matters so much. I don’t get paid nearly enough what I should be getting paid, but I love the children so much. The family I work with now, are amazing. They’ve given me more than 80 hrs paid vacation, I’m almost to a month of paid time off. For my birthday, they bought every single item on my Amazon wish list. I’m on salary, and get benefits. I love my job, it’s extremely difficult but so rewarding.

[@kas_xo]

That's amazing! I'm so glad that you are valued by them. 🥰

[@maryamkabal4743]

If she were to pay them 35/hour assuming they work full time that’s literally only 1400 dollars… not very livable if u ask me. I mean it’s a lot of money but not relative to bare minimum basic living expenses…

Amen!

[@DiandraStarShine]

@@yasminmansur6834 the annual CPI calculations do not include food & fuel and many other things people need to use DAILY. this has been the inexcusable practice of the US government for years. and these are the numbers that determine MANY things, including but not limited to the annual 'increase' in social security payments [retirement, disability, retired rail road workers benefits, veteran's benefits....] as well as the monthly & annual 'rate' of inflation. ALL of these numbers are recklessly, irresponsibly undercalculated EVERY year. and they numbers were so bad THIS past year that Jerome Powell announced, earlier this year [of course not sharing the real reason] that they were going to reorder how the CPI was calculated..because even if they did it the same way as before, inflation numbers would be so high that the majority of citizens would be in an uproar. the purchasing power of the US dollar & ALL fiat currency DECREASES near daily & definitely monthly & annually. there's just NO EXCUSE for the wealthy of the world to lowball a nanny. the person who will help keep their child safe, secure & ideally happy. the same person who spends FAR MORE WAKING HOURS with their babies and children than the mother AND father do. it's *sickening* that anyone RICH would want to underpay a nanny.

I know some ppl think race or ethnicity doesn't matter but I'm glad you understand that having people who look like her family around her as nannies will help Coco feel comfortable. I had a boss once and her kid ran up to me in the office never met her and just jumped on me wanted me to hold her and walk her around etc. Well come to find out her nanny was a Black Jamaican woman and she either thought I was her or someone who looked like her so therefore she felt comfortable. She didn't go to anyone else (white people) in the office and this was a white child. So again, good job Momma!

I have not seen nanny's anything less than $45 per hour in Silicon Valley. Remember they need to pay bills as well, so they have to afford to stay where you are staying, and anywhere around LA is expensive to live. Just the rent/cost of living will eat into the rates.

Nannies deserve a living wage, and one that is compatible with their experience and education. Babysitting teenagers and college students make up to 18 dollars hourly. Also, professional nannies are not housekeepers. Make no mistake, nannies have boundaries also.

[@Sebrinawilliams67]

I agree! It's mind boggling her attitude about pay for a qualified nanny. Your child is a better investment than any luxury car or home you have. Priorities are messed up here. I'm sure she has expensive shoes and handbags purchased without a care in the world of cost but is acting as if paying for a credible nanny is crazy.

[@KickinitMary]

Exactly!!! This video was a little tone deaf but she’s a first time mom. She’ll learn how essential having a good person to help her raise her kid is. She’s complaining of having to do it herself w/ family help for 8months lol 😂…. What about parents who have absolutely no one and can’t afford a nanny?

[@esbizzze]

@Mary L. K. Massey I also get the feeling that she is an extreme helicopter, and have multiple family in the house doing the same thing. Underpaid Nannies will move on. She has a right to her parenting style being honored. However she needs to be honest at the interviews to see if it is a good fit for both.

Unfortunately a nanny is not a housekeeper. If someone needs someone who does both extensively you must specify that that is what you are looking for. I have worked for the most families of anyone out there, over 180, estimated over 350 children all ages, long/term, short-term, last minute, Disney help, high profile plus much more. I have 90+ 5-star reviews and have spoken to literally hundreds of families across mostly SoCal and Central FL over 10 years. Yes, it actually is a “side” thing for me though. I also have a degree in economics, caused the second Space Jam movie to get renamed from “Space Jam 2”(back in 2019)…and have lots of opinions and facts on this topic. Lol Versatile. ✨ I LOVE the families I have helped and it has made me a better person in standing up for myself and I am very good at discussing money and turning down things. 😂

Nannies are not housekeepers unless it’s agreed upon and paid accordingly. Jeannie, I like you and I think you are entertaining, but you are too cheap. You want a good nanny but won’t pay for a good one. They likely won’t want to stay with you either. Good luck!

When I take time from work I often babysit and I always turn down jobs that have "light house keeping" because they are trying to get over and it's not fair. I usually let them know it's one or the other. Some people take the jobs anyway and become resentful. You don't want anyone resentful taking care of your children. Always pay more to anyone in care of your children. You can't bargain on that ever.

[@feliciahorton2355]

Babies/toddler intuition is on a different level. My daughter has always been a people person. She loves interacting and meeting new people. If you come with treats or toys then she's your best friend forever.... just don't pick her up or make it look like your going to pick her up, without her permission (she will disown you). One day I went out looking for daycares. We had an appointment with this one facility. We walked into that daycare and my daughter's personality 100% changed. The 1 year old that was sitting in that stroller was not my daughter. She didn't speak to anybody, she didn't want to get out the stroller, she didn't care about the toys, she didn't give high fives to the owner. She sat in that stroller like a statue.. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!! We left that daycare in our rear view mirror. That was one strange experience.

Jeannie - I’ve had little reason to comment until now. You are not factoring cost of living in your area and having someone that you trust to take great care of your most prized possession - your child! Why are you freaking out about $30 to $35 an hour?! Seriously lady, maybe go back to the drawing board and keep using your family. You sound like you’re not prepared for what a full time nanny means in terms of compensation

[@lizg8880]

It's so crazy to me that parents want to pay so little but ask so much of babysitters and nannies. You do get what you pay for, as Jeannies first example. So if you want a good babysitters or nanny, pay them well and give them respect and communication as a person. They are your teammates, not your slave. Some parents want you to do everything while they have an attitude and don't do anything. If it belongs to the child and they used it while I was there, it gets cleaned. If not, it does not. Our overall concern is your child's safety and well being that is what we are hired for. Also, if you put all the responsibility on your nannies to meet your child's needs, don't be surprised when your child is more attached to them. Quality time and meeting your childs needs is how you build bonds with them don't miss out on those opportunities when you can.

[@DiandraStarShine]

to the WEALTHY: PLEASE hire a nanny AND a housekeeper. *please* don't expect your NANNY to clean your house, too! baby laundry & cleaning up after the baby, YES. but DON'T expect your NANNY to clean UP after everyone in the house [even IF the baby is at a sleeping a lot stage]. so many employers of domestic workers wonder why they have such a high employee turnover. this isn't 1899 & as that nanny business owner said when she was EDUCATING Jeannie about modern times & how many nannies have a formal education in relevant fees [& we all know a lot of wealthy people want to hire undocumented workers but even THEY should be treated with dignity]. it's the 2020's. they'll get much more 'mileage' out of their employees IF they're thoughtful enough to give each employee a professional focus vs. trying to squeeze every ounce of energy out of them *just because.* and what's even MORE ideal is if RICH people hire TWO nannies to job share (so they don't have to, at the last minute, have to scramble to find someone TRUSTWORTHY to substitute temporarily or sometimes permanently. some years ago a trust-funder I worked for actually had 3 of us - who he got to know well - on the payroll BECAUSE he could EASILY AFFORD IT and he believed his child was WORTH every dollar of such a service...so, he paid us GENEROUSLY to share the job. 2 of us had the lion's share of the hours & the 3rd person was very part time and also a substitute. point being that it's always possible with patience, to find the right mixture of hours, etc. and we all had each other's phone numbers and would work in place of one another when needed, he trusted us to work things out if he wasn't available. and of course, AGAIN, that's something only wealthy people can afford to do..but that MEANS that, indeed, NOT the average adult but a *wealthy person/couple CAN AT LEAST* afford to hire a nanny AND a housekeeper.and NO reason not to when they're *RICH,* other than assumptions, selfish thoughtlessness & greed. and this means EVEN IF she's a *live-in* nanny - because it's a service provided by an ADULT who does not deserve to be told what her own budget should be by an employer. in other words, just because a parent provides them a room or a cottage does NOT mean they should be in a nanny's financial business. like in the old days when employers got away, legally, by justifying paying women LESS than men who did the EXACT SAME JOB [whish is still an issue, btw]. but she is not a indentured servant OR a slave, she is an ADULT with her own private life & expenses that are not an employers business. yet so MANY employers assume treating nannies like children and they want to DEDUCT from her salary what, in *their* minds, would be the value of a room or a cottage they provide. *NO,* better to keep it 'clean' & pay her an adult nanny salary or wage. because, for example, most students have a LOT of college/uni debt and for all the *parents* do NOT know, a nanny might look for a live-in situation BECAUSE her student loan payments are huge..and a provided room or cottage or apartment might not even come CLOSE to shaving off her expenses as much as would be ideal. but again, whatever her expenses/financial goals or plans, it's none of a parent's business, just PAY the nanny fairly & well..and all potential employers should look up the CURRENT & REAL & FAIR financial value of what a FULL TIME MOTHER does, what SHE would be earning if she was instead a nanny. because full time nannies spend far more of a baby or child's waking hours with their charges than a biological mother does, FACT. they 100% affect a child's formative years, as well. but so many WEALTHY parents want to go CHEAP on a nanny? just smdh. because why would ANYONE, who can easily afford it, *go* the cheap route when it comes to making sure their babies & children are cared for by trustworthy people? why would a *wealthy person* want their nanny to struggle financially or be worn out?? [again, wealthy employers, they should also KNOW the REAL cost of living and about REAL inflation AND the constantly DECREASING PURCHASING POWER of the US DOLLAR - and all other traditional fiat currency and how it MOSTLY affects the middle class & the impoverished. they should ALSO know that the annual USA CPI calculations, LITERALLY, do NOT include - among many other things - FOOD or FUEL! and who lives without food & fuel/transportation, heat, cooking, etc. but even THESE expenses covered are NOT enough for a poor or middle class person to live decently BECAUSE official inflation numbers are NOT accurate - and NOT only because of the dishonest CPI numbers..which Social Security [retirement, disability, veteran's benefits, retired railroad workers benefits] are based on. people who have worked all their lives and/or are disabled. but again, the working poor & middle class are ALSO greatly affected SO the wealthiest people should NOT be so cheap re: nannies or any other domestic worker. outside of the rare crazy nanny situation, generosity leads to much better outcomes than being a cheapskate..& I say that because of Jeannie's shocked & chagrined reaction when she got educated about what a reasonable salary or wage is for, esp., a well educated nanny. but even one who has experience who is NOT formally educated should be appreciated and paid a livable wage/salary. so, besides re: being a good caregiver + the ACTUAL COST OF LIVING, nannies deserved to be respected & cared for & appreciated..and one of the ways to demonstrate that is to NOT be resentful of what they should be getting PAID. I mean just what, to RICH parents specifically, is their child's safety, security & happiness worth?

[@ja-el5]

This was very informative and enlightening. In the event that I have a baby in the future, I'll definitely be needing something like the wise nanny agency 💯👍🏾. Just like anyone else, nannies are performing a job which clearly requires specific skills, training and experience so they should be paid accordingly.

I can't believe that Jeanie Mai was complaining about $30 an hour to pay a good "Nanny" to take care of her daughter! She's a TV personality, and her "busted" husband is a rapper (not my type rapper, definitely not Ice Cube) but nonetheless, he's a well known rapper! There's people with regular jobs that make close, or more than that! On top of that, she's expecting a perfect "Nanny" with all this experience! She should be willing to pay the big bucks for what she's asking for! Even if her & her husband were not entertainers, one cannot put a price tag on a decent, and trustworthy person to care for their child!

Nanny's take care of the children's needs( food, playing with them, teaching them etc.) I do not understand that when people have the money to pay a good wage for nanny's they don't want too but yet expect them to do everything. Some people would rather spend more $$$ on material things than on care for their precious children. You get what you pay for.

It did for me, but I kept and still keep God first. I am a mother and I learned to not fight the feeling of being a protective mother that only wants my child to be cared for without a doubt with respect. I had to take self out of it because I was very selfish and by me working from home I kept my child until a few months ago when he started daycare with a family friend that has an in home daycare. Long story short after my divorce from my son’s father that even added more stress to me because I couldn’t control who his father would have him around that I didn’t approve of. I top of my son having a speech delay, I stay prayed up and I know that the only reason now everything is better for me is because I am obedient to God, I know when God is involved whatever is meant to be will happen so easily and you’ll be tested to grow your trust and strength through God, and of course a lot of praying. I still do not allow my son to be kept by certain people and I communicate very respectfully to his father that please know that I pray for our son’s protection from God. God is in control, you got this mom. Congrats on becoming a mother, and keep pushing God is right there with you and I will say this when I was married and found out I was pregnant I began to pray over my son and I began to let God know that my son is just mine to borrow and so am I as being his mother but I know God will forever be right there with us no matter what comes our way. I still always worry about my son, but that’s the mother in me.

I am a mother of 3 adolescents (my subscription is thru my son’s account). Be careful with family members. With my first child I jumped from different family members. Not everyone has the same interest as the mother. My personal suggestion is to not only go with someone with experience but investigate questions to ask (internet, other friends and families that have had care takers, etc) write them down so you don’t forget to ask. If in your home put cameras. If at daycare place talk to other mothers that also go there and get their comments on their experience. It’s the hardest when your kids are so little and still not talking cuz they can’t tell you what happened. Don’t feel bad asking too many questions….that’s your child. You’ll feel it when you have the right person . If you have a bad gut feeling a certain person isn’t right then go with your gut. Also, don’t put your guard down once the person is picked and you have a routine. I’m not saying to be over protective, just alert and involved. You’ll be alright. Hugs 🤗. - Victoria

Just because Jeannie was shocked by the per hour rate doesn’t mean she isn’t willing to pay for quality childcare. She was also injecting a bit of humour into it, but clearly this offended some.

Some community colleges have early childhood credentials for anyone looking to work with children. Jeanine is showing a serious lack of education.

Perfect nanny, love her ❤️ Great choice 👌

Omg you had a baby!!!!! I haven’t kept up with you in a couple years congratulations! My heart! She’s beautiful!

Watch your own child then! ... that way U don't have to worry about it. ~ Peace~

[@nontobekolynnndamase8435]

When Jeanie heard BA…. “Ooohhh” 😂 before hearing the actual qualification😂 and she didn’t know what it was😂 She’s just celebrating education 👌👌👏🏾👏🏾😂😂❤️

[@hienienguyen6766]

It's important to interview ppl when it comes to finding a nanny. I had a babysitter and it's sittercity. I just had to make sure it was someone I can afford.

[@hildabitner560]

I am sure you take care of your mother financially so have her be the nanny

[@Maggiemogadime2206]

Please let mamma Mai do the job . She's her grandma and she'll take care of her as always and you don't need to eorry about the negative things that will happen to your beautiful baby

[@sashavontay]

Hey Moni Moni 🦋 ❤️💜 she is sooooooooo cute 🥰 also great job crystal. I don't have kids yet but great info 👍🏽

[@IsabelMejia-wg3xo]

I don´t like Jeannies face when they tell her a nanny can make 35 an hour. That was very disrespectful, even after she was told a nanny with a degree and 5 years experience. It was a very stupid reaction. If you think about it: what it´s the most important in the world for her and this nanny will take care of her. How much does Jeannie make an hour? why would her making that much is ok and not 35 for the nanny. We are very selfish. Any body taking care of my baby should be making good money. If this person is happy with her salary she will not jeopardize her/his job and will take care of my baby the best possible. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

[@trashawn.w]

6:14 That was probably the first time I EVER heard Mama Mai say Jeezy's name somewhat correctly! 🤣🤣🤣 And the only reason I know what adolescents means is bcuz of Tupac. I remember the last time you went live you mentioned that you were gonna do an episode on finding a nanny too. And as ALWAYS... you delivered! And I wish you good luck on your search for the perfect nanny for Monaco ($hit I wish I could do it MYSELF, hell I would even do it for FREE too). Thanks for sharing this episode with us Jeannie & I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving holiday & I hope Monaco enjoyed her FIRST Thanksgiving also! Stay Blessed Jeannie!!! 💚💚💚

Even though it's not recommended by doctors, I still gave my babies a little water here and there. Me and the dad was like they cant keep just drinking milk and not have water at times. They were both fine. Doctors don't know everything.

[@oliviasjcbc]

At that time baby only 3 weeks I guess, I don’t think baby aloud to drink water, now Monaco is 11 months, I think baby Monaco start drinking water a little by little as 7, 8 months I guess ❤

[@HEReIAM829]

@@oliviasjcbc oh ok. Yes, I didn't give them water til about a few months old ❤

[@alisalaska1786]

Milk is mostly water. It’s all they need for the first 6 months. It’s well researched.

[@Penelope_Paris]

Isn’t a nanny long term, with you on a daily basis, and the child is more familiar with them. I think they deserve to get paid well. They feed the baby, clean the babies room, wash their clothes, and etc… ❤❤❤ A babysitter is just for a few hours… should still be great with children, but there’s a difference with job duties, and pay. They should be getting a good fair hourly rate. Now the nanny should get a good fair Salary. 🙏🏼❤️☺️This was a great video! Oh! If your friend is a nanny she’s charging too cheap! If she’s a babysitter then she’s charging a good fair price hourly. ☺️🙏🏼

[@kimberlyjlpitts9862]

$30 per hour for 1 child is fine to start BUT I’m not cooking , doing light housework unless it’s a mess the child or I make or running personal errands for parents my job is anything to do with the child and any extra child is $10 an hour extra and DO NOT ASK ME TO COOK FOR YOUR FAMILY UNLESS I CHOOSE TO! Clean up after yourselves and any extra, personal assistant, groceries pickup, etc outside of the child is $20 per hour extra Every role has its own hourly wage. Rich folks like to get over on the undocumented workers or foreign workers they hire! Nyet! But I don’t Nanny I only did it occasionally

[@karinaa.9404]

For someone who wants to give back to the community and help advocate for people in low income communities. I was a caught off guard and disturbed that you believed 30-35$ an hour is a lot of money for someone who is helping your child form who they are. I understand that’s more than minimum wage and so on but you also have to put some respect in the people who provide care to these kids because their financial security and health will reflect right back onto your child.

[@KickinitMary]

Exactly!

[@r.r911]

Just because someone is well off does not mean they have to throw money away. If I was rich, I would pay $30 an hour, too. Minimum wage is about $14-15 an hour ....nurses pay is about $30 an hour. You serious!

[@patriceirby9548]

Mama Mai does an excellent job with Coco. Have you considered her as a nanny with assistance from your brother? Both of them have taught Coco so much and they love her to pieces. You have a great team already.

[@n.g.l.]

Tbh with the wealth I’ve received, paying nanny’s more isn’t an issue. People gotta pay bills and eat, and everyone should have a right to live and not survive.

[@milamarcospereira6344]

So I'm going to comment on that basically what Jenny is asking is somebody to have the whole freaking degree have a college degree but she don't want to pay for it and I am an indicator and let me just tell you that it's not over pricey because honey she literally is risking her life everyday cuz if you don't know Educators we risk Our Lives everyday for taking care of other people's cuz kids are too fragile and if you are not willing to pay that much money so take care of your own baby because yes you are a complicated mama and I will not have the patient to like you know stay with you for an even an hour cuz you asking for too much you don't want to pay and that you want somebody to have a college degree and maybe like 15 hours to be like what he's being a daddy I'm taking care of your child honey I'm taking your the most important thing in this world for you so yes you have to pay and to take you you have to pray to find somebody that is good to take and love baby but you want them to clean your house you don't want to Annie want a housekeeper this is a different name right if you want a housekeeper then we are talking about a different really different subject right here cuz the housekeeper yes she's supposed to do housekeeping just keep everything in the house including the people that are there but you find talking about somebody that have a college degree honey she's not asking for too much and if you don't want live it alone take care of your own baby cuz no racist or whatever but yes you Asian and because you Asian you want to pay that much money but you want things really really like not as that expensive but you talking about your child so it's something that you have to do to also have to how to say to count because if you want somebody that is indicated and he have no and you want somebody to speak Spanish that speak this language damn I speak seven language honey and I will not work for you no because I will never work for a celebrity for much money they want to pay cuz they want to slave you and they want you to do everything like you want everything and it's not it's it's something that's going to has you said it's going to develop with the relationship the person have to feel so feel comfortable to do those chores without you be like it's part of your control is not written make sure this is secure is health is is well taking care of happy is having fun and yes I could never ever work with somebody that will not let me do my job because parents like Jenny is the typical parents is not going to question you even if you don't mean something negative or whatever ER parents that have this open mind but the same time they think that baby sister is like a monster that you have did they just people that need surveillance and you have to kind of respect the way they are but also put rules I'm sure Jenny's like the typical person cannot discipline their child you cannot discipline if you discipline they're going to look up the camera like come on come on now nonsense nonsense

[@agz2801]

Who wouldn’t wanna be a nanny to Coco she’s so cute and would be so fun to babysit! I’d do it 😁😄plus she’s got the best family 😜

[@bella_jfk]

30 $ is low.

They have to experience with kids. If they have an education. My babysitter was Patricia. I had to have one because my mom was sick and my dad was working.

[@dominizel25]

35 is the minimium and house work shouldn't be picking up after other ppl or cleaning after other ppl other than the baby

[@tracywebb1061]

Yes I had to take child care aid classes first then a class for c.p.r....

[@jaimeannbarley7751]

You need to take your time find a right babysitter you got to know everything about them they're background during medical history for you let them babysitters who they live with that very important. When I had my daughter I just didn't feel comfortable having babysitters but I just had my mom or my sister watch her

[@minah19845]

True Jennie looks difficult. Someone who can helicopter a nanny.

[@v3ra604]

An excellent example that ECE's and caregivers are not appreciated or properly compensated for their work and their education/certification background.

That’s really not fair talking about what you would or not pay a good Nanny. I’m sure you made more on you job. Not really trying to compare the two but she was watching your beautiful baby.

[@Gi_Lovely]

I think the nannies babysitting high profile clients’ kids should be paid way more than $50 an hour! Just the amount of stuff they have to put up with must be insane. Plus they have the money 😫 stop being cheap.

I think for Asian ppl, we think of nanny as babysitter who just looking to make some money so $30/hr sounds a lot. Like for me, I didn’t know a nanny need to have any credential or experience or that they need to do other baby related chores when the baby sleep! But now I know. Yes I would pay $30 for a professional nanny given all the tasks they are expected to do.
