• 
• 

Details

Parent Category: Nanny 101

Category: Nanny Surveys

The 2017 data is here! PSP conducted its 6th Nanny Compensation Survey of employers who employ a nanny. These results are based on 870 parents from Brooklyn who employ live-out nannies who are not part of a nanny share.

IMPORTANT FINDINGS:

PAY:

▪ $17.05 per hour for 1 child ($1.99 more than 2015)
▪ $18.33 per hour for 2 children ($1.89 more than 2015)

Part-time nannies continue to make a higher hourly rate than a full-time nannies, paying a premium for fewer hours:
* $18.30 per hour for 10-20 hours
* $17.90 per hour for 50+ hours

TIME OFF:

▪ The average agreed upon days off is 14 days, while the reported days actually received is 21 days. (The vast majority of nannies are paid for all 21 days they receive off.)
▪ 1 in 2 (58%) let their nanny schedule time off at the nanny's discretion (something for which PSP advocates.)

RAISES & BONUSES:

▪ The average raise given is $1.28 per hour.
▪ Giving bonuses continues to be standard, with 1 week's pay given the most common amount.
