Au Pair & Nanny Salary: How much should I pay?
There are several important factors to consider when defining the salary for your aupair or nanny. And you should know the value of what you’ll get before you pay for it. Salary is not dependent on the need of the individual, rather on the value they provide based on their experience. Remember that the starting salary for a live-in aupair as defined by the US State Department is US $176.85 and in the UK it is less: £60-75. Simply because an aupair or nanny asks for a certain rate does not necessarily mean it is deserved. Salary should be earned based on demonstrated performance and current value. And market values change based on economic conditions.
