| What should you pay your nanny? How
do you know if your nanny is worth her rates? |
According to the law you are obliged to pay your
nanny a nanny salary no less than the minimum wage as is
determined by the province in which you reside. This
generally is somewhere in the range of $8-$11 as a
minimum.
If an employer is looking to hire a foreign caregiver,
it is worth also keeping in mind that along with the
nanny salary of no less than minimum wage you are also
legally obliged to provide room and board for your
caregiver. An employer is also responsible for paying
for the health insurance of any foreign caregiver until
she becomes eligible for provincial health coverage.
Your nanny is also eligible to paid vacation time. Most
province legislation states that a nanny is entitled two
weeks uninterrupted vacation leave and that nanny pay
during vacation leave must equal 4% of gross earnings.
If an employer is looking for a babysitter for their
children it is worth asking friends, neighbors and
family members what they pay their sitters. Babysitters
can set their own babysitter rates so be sure to check
that your sitter is not over charging you for their
services. Most babysitters receive an hourly wage that
should be negotiated and determined before work
commences. It is important to make your nanny feel
appreciated so if you are satisfied that your nanny or
babysitter is doing a great job you can increase your
nanny’s salary. This will often mean that your nanny
will be more likely to remain in your employment rather
than seek a job if she feels she can receive a greater
nanny wage.
Keep in mind that the salary that you pay your nanny
will be dependent on a variety of factors. You should
expect to pay a nanny a greater nanny salary if they
have had a number of years prior nanny experience, or if
they hold a child care qualification or a degree. The
nanny you wish to hire may set her nanny rates higher
than what you expected but may reflect greater
competency and experience in the field of childcare. If
you have any concern that her nanny rates seem too high
you can always ask for references, proof of experience
and educational attainments and you can always
renegotiate your nanny’s salary prior to signing a
contract.
Experts agree that nannies and families should insist
upon a written agreement before hire. This agreement, or
contract, should include a statement of general
responsibilities, compensation and benefits, guidelines
on handling emergencies, household guidelines and
security issues. Nannies and families find that
agreement on these important job issues before
employment helps avoid misunderstanding and conflict
later on.
