RESULTS of the Nanny Survey

Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer our nanny survey - The results indicate somewhat expected trends:

Please note that the below should ONLY be used as a reference point. Each caregiver has her own set of qualifications/experiences that should be taken into count when making a hire.

NewportMommy does not take any responsibility for checking the facts behind the submissions and hopes that everyone has responded only in true faith!

Thanks for this. Very helpful especially for new parents.
Does the weekly rate includes transportation cost or is it separate?
What is the trend of paying nanny when the family takes a vacation say to go to India?

Also is there any stats on nannies accepting check vs. cash payment.
I feel like all of us mommies need to unite and only pay via check. This will help all of us in getting valid documented nannies and tax deductions.

Thanks all.. Unfortunately, we had limitation on questions we could ask so I don have data on cash/check payment but know from common knowledge that most Indian/Nepali/Tibetian nannies get paid by cash. Most Tibetans have valid work permit for sure

Hi,

I am looking for a baby sitter and just saw this survey. Can anyone let me know if the weekly rate includes transportation or is it separate? Also if the nanny gets paid when the family takes vacation.

Thank you.

Thanks for the survey - very helpful. One key question, however: N=? How many respondents to the survey?

Permalink Reply by NewportMommy on October 27, 2014 at 10:21am

Off the top of  my head - approx. 70 in FT employers.. and approx 40 in part time
