Where does this pricing data come from?

NannyFYI continually compiles compensation information provided by employers, primarily pay feedback in reviews and job postings, along with selected offline employment information. Data from these sources is standardized and summarized quarterly.

How are live-in roles converted to a daily rate?

For live-in roles quoted by the day, we use the stated daily rate. Weekly rates are divided by five workdays, and monthly rates are divided by 21.67 workdays. A live-in daily rate is a comparison measure; it does not treat a day as 24 paid hours.

How are live-out, hourly, or short-shift roles converted?

Hourly roles are standardized to an eight-hour reference day. For example, US$30 per hour becomes US$240 per day. If the actual shift is shorter, the page still shows the eight-hour equivalent rather than the pay for that shorter shift.

What do the median daily rate and middle 50% range mean?

The median daily rate is the middle value after all samples are sorted by price, so unusually high or low amounts affect it less than an average. The middle 50% range shows where the more typical half of the sample falls.

How does NannyFYI distinguish a yuesao from a nanny?

Pay feedback in reviews follows the service categories on the caregiver’s current profile, while job postings are classified by the stage of care and job duties. Postpartum recovery, newborn care, and confinement meals point more toward yuesao work, while ongoing everyday childcare points more toward nanny work. A job posting covering both sets of duties may contribute to both relevant categories.

How are U.S. and Canadian data handled?

U.S. rates are reported in USD, while Canada is treated as one nationwide market reported in CAD. The currencies are analyzed separately and are never converted or combined into one median.
