Washington DC Area Nanny Survey - Preliminary Results
We are pleased to have 180 respondents in the last three weeks and have posted preliminary results at:
https://www.4nannytaxes.com/WashingtonDCNannySalarySurveyResults.cfm
In general, wages for live in nannies are in the $20K - $25K range (plus room and board) with little wage difference between entry level and more experienced nannies.
Washington DC area live out nannies continue to be well compensated by national standards. Reported salaries annualized between $30K - $40K, with a few approaching $50K.
We collected the data in hourly wage terms to try to create apples to apples comparisons - weekly wages vary significantly as nannies may work any where from 40 - 60 hours in a week.
Less than half of nannies are being paid for overtime - a particularly troubling statistic given that claims for wage and hour violations by employees currently exceed sex discrimination claims! Many families are leaving themselves open to substantial financial liability should the family/nanny relationship end badly and the nanny file a claim. (See earlier post on this subject). Recently, Dan Snyder, Washington Redskins owner was forced to pay his former nanny $44K in back wages.
The salary survey is still open and we would like to receive many more responses.
