Too many nannies are unaware of the average rates in their area and the factors that influence a nanny’s pay rate.
Additionally, many nannies often overestimate their skills and tend to think that all families who employ a nanny are UHNWIs.
There’s nothing wrong with aiming high (especially when they can afford it) and it’s normal to not want to be underpaid, however you also have to be realistic… salaries are not based on personal needs and wants…
In some parts of the world, 25 an hour is clearly underpaid. In other parts of the world, however, 15 an hour is perfectly decent. It may seem unfair, but that’s just how it is.
It is important to get the right information to set your salary expectations or before claiming that a salary is too low. If you want to get what you’re asking for, your prices must always be fair and justified!
