How much money would you have to make annually to consider having a full-time nanny to help with cooking/cleaning etc.?

Over 1M with little or no debt

500k at a minimum

Not sure. In today's dollars, what did an architect make in the 70s?

Is it a two income family? Is mom's health good?

I guess either scenario. Either a working mom, or a mom in poor health.

In those cases maybe 300K to justify spending 65K a year.

That would be a little sketchy imo. Your effective tax rate is probably 40% between state and federal not to mention

Yeah looking at those numbers I would have to raise the bar. Maybe 400K.

National average nanny rate is $19/hr. Pay $20 and you are at 41k full time.

Except for the fact that if you employ a full-time nanny, you're going to be responsible for payroll taxes. That will

Cost of living is a factor. If you live in a high-COL area, your nanny rate isn't going to be $19/hr.

My guess is that high COL ares employ a disproportionate % of full time nannies,

Plato

If the source for the $19/hr claim is Google via nannylane.com, that figure isn't representative.

12/11/19 11:07am

$66K.

Yup. If the nanny is good enough, you don’t have any expenses

I'm not sure I'd want a full-time nanny even if I won the lottery

Avery

12/11/19 9:46am

It depends on how I'm making my money

12/11/19 9:49am

Get a part time chef and part time cleaning person. Better to get experts.

I would never want one

I've had full-time Au Pairs for childcare. Are we talking a second person?

12/11/19 9:53am

Yeah I once tried getting my vallet to man the kitchen, not a good idea. Gonna

65k seems high. Does that include payroll taxes and benefits?

Also, if you aren't a member of an exclusive golf club because of the cost, then

1.5 to 2 unless I didn’t buy an unreasonable house

cougfanz

12/11/19 11:07am

Probably 800k. I think at 500-600 I'd go for a part-time nanny

Its a problem to acknowledge someone?

Would be for me. I’ll never want someone living with us.. unless had to for some
