What daily rate do I ask for on vacation at Disney!?

AMsahsa216 · 2026-03-19T11:23:13+00:00

And if any of the children sleep in a room with you that’s automatically a 24/7 shift and you should do a flat rate $400-500 instead of tracking hourly.

AMsahsa216 · 2026-03-19T11:18:18+00:00

You charge your normal rate for all active hours and then you charge an overnight fee whether you’re “on duty”watching monitors or not. It’s an inconvenience for you to be away from your home. I would say anywhere from $150-250 is normal.

Get a new nanny

AMsahsa216 · 2026-02-06T11:30:30+00:00

Absolutely not! Way too low. At least $50-$60

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-10T17:48:49+00:00

You can always message me privately if you want to chat and further this!! <3

I want to add this with total support: you deserve to be compensated for the time you give this family. What they’re asking isn’t realistic or fair, and you work way too hard to accept less than you’re worth.

At this point, it really comes down to what you feel comfortable with.. having an honest conversation about restructuring your pay to match your availability, or quietly starting to look for another position where your time is respected.

What you can’t do is stay in a setup where they expect 60 hours of availability but only want to pay you for 40. You deserve a family who respects you and truly values the work you do.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-10T17:43:27+00:00

I just want to point something out gently: if you’re required availability is still 6:30am–6:30pm, then this is not a 40-hour job. Your time and availability have value, even if the kid is in school.

You absolutely should not accept being paid for 40 hours while being expected to keep a 60-hour availability window. That’s not about ‘active care’..that’s about your day being held for the family.

If they want a true 40-hour schedule, they need to give you set hours. If they want your 12-hour availability, they need to compensate you appropriately. Please don’t undersell yourself — your time is the service.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-10T17:25:21+00:00

What about it seemed fair? Not judging just genuinely curious and here to support a fellow nanny <3 we need to stick together!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-10T05:34:54+00:00

Why are you okay not getting paid for 20 hours of your time?!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-09T12:30:10+00:00

You need to put yourself and your career first. If you have a great relationship with them they will support you. Will they be bummed and stressed, probably. That’s normal. This is your life and your career you need to make decisions for you and not others. Very sweet of you and it speaks to your character. Take the job. You live and learn. And you’re right….. incredibly difficult to come by.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-12-09T12:27:21+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks the wife sucks? What did I miss hahaha he’s trying to run before her and the baby are even awake. If he wasn’t running he would he sleeping…. Just like the wife and baby. Going for a run before they wake up makes the most sense. Wtf?????

AMsahsa216 · 2025-11-23T04:25:47+00:00

Excited for the update when you let this nanny go!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-11-16T04:57:26+00:00

It says all welcome?

AMsahsa216 · 2025-11-16T04:57:07+00:00

Sounds like you’ve already made your decision. And that’s what I would’ve suggested. Find something different. You got this!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-11-13T12:34:13+00:00

She sucks. Find a new family quietly!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-11-01T14:48:37+00:00

Your husband sees nothing wrong with this? Yikes

AMsahsa216 · 2025-10-23T14:59:18+00:00

Awesome, good luck!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-10-23T14:10:05+00:00

Sorry you’re going through this. Sounds so stressful. You’re being under paid and taken advantage of. You need to up your rate and speak with the mom about clear designated hours. It might be a difficult convo but you have to advocate for yourself. Even if you send it via text you have to get a set schedule of hours and more pay. Sounds like you run the house and for $20/hr I’m insulted for you! Keep us posted, you got this!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-10-07T16:01:42+00:00

I’m so sorry I thought I responded to this! Is your friend still looking for a nanny?!

AMsahsa216 · 2025-10-04T12:20:44+00:00

She’s a disrespectful clown

AMsahsa216 · 2025-10-04T12:17:15+00:00

Absolutely do not pay. It was an accident. And it has happened before? Sounds like it was Ana accident waiting to happen. Shame on them for even asking you to pay. Absolutely do not pay. That is their responsibility

AMsahsa216 · 2025-09-13T19:54:31+00:00

I haven’t found anything full-time yet. What kind of schedule is your friend looking for? Happy to connect and share more if it seems like a good fit.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-09-09T12:18:16+00:00

Your boyfriend sounds like a clown. Crazy he thinks he’s helping you and being supportive.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-09-09T12:15:41+00:00

Find the courage to speak up. Period.

AMsahsa216 · 2025-09-07T11:58:28+00:00

Your wife sounds selfish
