Great Pay
Nannies recruited through The Elite Nanny Team typically have a starting wage of $15.00 an hour and may range up to $30.00 an hour based on experience and expectations. The average wage of our nannies is between $15.00 and $25.00 and those who choose this wage on their online application are more likely to receive interviews. As a professional nanny, you are a hard worker!! Babysitters have good days, they have bad days, depending often on the child’s mood. Frequently, caregivers have bachelor’s degrees and/or Early Childhood Education. However, unlike in Europe, there is no formal training for nannies via university which puts a ceiling on reasonable salary expectations. Hourly wage and compensation are set by the Employer, not the TENT Group.
Vacation Packages
Our employment agency and nanny recruiting service strongly recommend families offer a substantial vacation package to ensure their nanny does not get burnt out. These packages can vary from one week to six weeks and may be partially based on performance. Often times the family will choose half of the scheduled vacation days you take, and you will choose the remaining days based on your personal needs. Some families offer sick pay if you have to call out when you have a fever, a sick child, or an uncontrollable cough. Your nanny boss will decide which vacation days s/he can offer. This includes national holidays, sick days, and paid time off. Federal holidays are up to the client’s discretion but may include Independence Day, Thanksgiving Eve, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and/or New Year’s Eve. It is important to TENT and our clients that you, the babysitter, have a proper balance of life and work. We want to make sure you are completely dedicated to your nanny families while comfortably managing your own life.
Personalized Contracts
You and your employer get a personalized contract developed by The Elite Nanny Team to establish expectations, initiate communication and establish boundaries. We take information from both parties to establish a working relationship. In your work contract will state the hours you work, the number of children you are expected to watch, the duties the family wants you to perform. It also indicates certain rules the family wants to be followed, duties you will be responsible for like cleaning, cooking, and whether you only do the children's laundry or the parents' laundry as well. If you will be using your car to take the kids to school, activities, or appointments - your contract will promise how the family will reimburse you for using your car and paying for gas. In addition, it stipulates how taxes, social security, state taxes, and unemployment will be handled. In some instances, your employer will cover these costs, while in other employers will want you to manage your own taxes. Having a contract offers a wonderful working environment where transparency is key, fairness is valued, and respect is fostered among employees and employers. We favor an open door policy and you are always welcome to come to us if you have concerns, questions, or requests.
