This post is dedicated to professionals in the babysitting industry who are looking for nanny jobs so they know what and how much to expect when they get employed in a full time job babysitting or caregiving kids, elderly or even people with disabilities. Since if you are looking for a job as a nanny, I personally deemed it necessary for you to know what you can expect working for people in a full time basis.
Nanny Compensation Statistics
Today, there is really no exact figure as to how much a nanny can receive for their salary. However, there are a few typical estimates based on experience and a few data gathered from agencies and nannies themselves that tell a clue for those who are looking into living for this type of job.
Wondering what the typical salary is for a nanny? Nanny compensation varies widely, depending on the amount of experience a nanny has, whether you provide housing for her and what area you live in. According to the International Nanny Association, live-in nannies who are just starting out in the profession may make from $250 to $400 a week. Live-in nannies with training can make from $400 to $1,000 a week.
The International Nanny Association 2006 Salary Survey breaks down the figures a little more clearly in a survey of over 1000 nannies. The survey included a broad spectrum of professionals from full-time nannies to infant specialists. Respondents may have had as little as a year of experience or over eight years of experience. Of the nannies that responded, 45 percent had some college education. This summary of the earnings breakdowns can act as a nanny salary guide and give an idea of the varied nanny compensation possibilities that live-in and part-time nannies can get.
