The budget breakdown of a 29-year-old nanny earning $175,000 in NYC and Georgia
CNBC ^ | 7 Jan 2021 | Emmie Martin

After graduating from Spelman College in 2015, Brieonna Johnson knew she wanted to work with children.

She applied for teaching jobs, but the pay was low and she was worried about paying off her student loans. Although she had worked as a part-time nanny in college, she hadn’t considered that she could turn it into a full-blown career. But then she came across a nannying agency in Atlanta.

In 2016, Johnson found a live-in position with a family in Atlanta and fell in love with the work and the kids. Being able to live with the family was a major draw as she’s been able to avoid spending money on rent.

For Johnson, the best part is being able to form long-term relationships with the families. “It’s really rewarding. I have a great bond with both the kids and the parents,” she says. “With some families, I really feel like a family member. And it’s great being a part of the kids’ lives and tag-teaming with the parents to help raise the next generation.”

I can only imagine that you earn $175,000 as a nanny if you’re a naughty nanny.


There are nannies who will be a lot naughtier for a lot less than $175k, at least that is what I have been told.

I graduated in 1979 with a chemical engineering degree with a first professional salary of $16k a year. 18 months later, I was at $40k after graduating out of the probationary period.

At about 24 months, the price of oil collapsed sent oil companies and chemical companies into a tailspin and ended up with a salary freeze for several years. Of course, the Corp. management was getting hefty bonuses for cutting costs and increasing profit at the same time.

My wife jokes that she was the only mother on our cul de sac who didn’t have a Nanny to raise our kids.

Most families were very secretive about having nannies until the last decade. Our sons and a all most son often informed us about the nannies. The nannies often were a secret caste of people.

One woman actually developed a business of training/hiring Nannies.

One of the families was/is a good Catholic family with 6 kids including 2 sets of twins. The mother plays tennis and is involved heavily in the Catholic schools her kids go to.

An interesting one was a former marine gunny, who was a nanny for 3 boys. The family mother couldn’t handle the 3 sons. So her traveling husband hired the gunny to be a male Nanny. The two older sons are now successful as adults, and the middle one and I became friends when he became an adult. The younger one had mental developmental problems and was a physical fitness nut. He now lives with his divorced mother in a beach town and helps her to run a local gym and fitness classes.

One woman, a widow, who is our age has severe physical problems and her 3 daughters have hired two of their former nannies to watch her basically 24/7. The nannies live in the Mother’s home and share the care and also do real outside Nanny work that they share. They are like family with the mother and adult daughters.

Most of the so called “freed” mothers played tennis or golf and often were deeply involved in big time charities as fund raisers and unpaid managers.

Such a shame. Parents are the ones who should raise their children

“They are like family with the mother and adult daughters.”

My wife’s brother married into an old-line Texas family.

They have a full time live-in ‘maid’ and the ‘maid’s’ mother worked for the sister-in-law’s mother... going back many generations. They are deeply connected beyond an employer/employee relationship.
Everyone speaks Spanish and English, not from school but learned it beginning at birth or before.

They say the ‘maid’ and her family are wealthy in their own right, hard work, and successful investments. The ‘maid’s’ children are all college graduates.

By chance is the Gunny/nanny available? Our grandson age four is looking to be a handful they may need reinforcements.

I was the morning childcare person until an evil car ran me over on my bicycle, 20 days hospital, and months of PT.
So I was replaced.

A long tradition in the south. They used to call the Black help ‘mammies’ instead of ‘nannies’, however.

As the pictures point out, she is working for black families who can afford a highly paid nanny. Get with the times.

“Parents are the ones who should raise their children”

And extended family too.
On a basic level, I agree.

That said, in today’s world it can be difficult to arrange.
Nothing new, perhaps a bit more complicated.
Clearly, for my grandchildren and many others, it is a symbiotic relationship.

Also, see #26.

Before the War, there were Black slaveowners in the South.

No excuse for racist comments about a person living today.

Sorry, I’m not as woke as you are. You seem a bit triggered here.

Not buying You called a woman making $175K a year a “mammy.” Clearly you intended a slur. Women begain making a good living independent of men in the 1970’s; white women first, and then black women. Conservatives are insulted when people say Trump is racist, but then you come on this conservative web site and sneer about a black woman making good money. There’s nothing “triggered” about it; it’s racist, and doesn’t belong on here.

Reading comprehension issues, or a deliberate misstatement by you? That is not what I said about her. I referenced the historical title for the job in the South.

"A long tradition in the south. They used to call the Black help ‘mammies’ instead of ‘nannies’, however. "

I have added emphasis if it is the former; if the latter:

Don't waste your time here; go find some monuments to tear down like a good Social Justice Warrior if you can't deal with history.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are persisting in viewing a story about an enterprising young woman through an outdated racial lens, and every answer you have given to my suggestion that you “get with the times” is to revert back to the one worst, most tragic flaw in the southland that I otherwise adore, and know the history of very well, thanks.

You insult the young woman, then you insult me, and then you claim that it’s important that everyone on the thread be reminded of the demeaning label used over 150 years ago for enslaved childcaregivers because history!

Well, yes, white supremacist racism is the very worst part of American history; and its language is apparently still worth trotting out and defending, according to you.

So again, thank you so much for pointing out how a stereotypical put-down came immediately to your mind when you saw a photo of a black person! Without your demonstration of the way white supremacy is maintained in the minds that cherish it, we might not have known how the heart of a racist labels black people as they would have been labeled way back in the day as a defense against seeing them as deserving any success they may have achieved in these, oh, 53 to 73 years since the legal dismantling of Jim Crow.

Again, you base a rant on a false assumption. I made my first post before I saw the young lady's (oops, sorry, the WOC's) photo. Of course, you are still ahead of me on the wokeness scale, since I still gendered her and you saw past gender.

Although a superwoke feminist may take you to task for using perSON.
