SEATTLE.
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE. CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY --
UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A BILL OF
RIGHTS TO MAKE SURE WORKERS GET
A MINIMUM WAGE, MEAL BREAKS,
PROPER REST.
PROPER REST. EIGHT STATES HAVE PASSED
SIMILAR LAWS.
SIMILAR LAWS. OREGON ONE OF THEM.
SEATTLE BELIEVED TO BE THE
FIRST CITY TO DO SO.
SUPPORTERS SAY THIS IS
GROUNDBREAKING.
GROUNDBREAKING. THESE WORKERS HAVE OFTEN BEEN
EXCLUDED FROM LABOR PROTECTION
FOR EXAMPLE LIKE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
HARASSMENT. THERE WILL BE A PANEL OF
WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS TO COME UP
WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WAGE
STANDARDS, RETIREMENT AND
HEALTHCARE BENEFITS.

ELLENSBURG. THIS IS A WIN FOR DOMESTIC
WORKERS.
WORKERS.
WORKERS. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE WHEN
PUT INTO PRACTICE?
>> SCARY BECAUSE I AM -- WHEN
YOU TOLD ME AND WE WENT OVER
THESE NEW LAWS THESE ARE
ALREADY COMMON PRACTICE IN OUR
INDUSTRY FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND
EVEN FOR CLIENTS USING AN
ONLINE SERVICE AND WORD-OF-
MOUTH.
MOUTH.
MOUTH. CLIENTS HAVE HAD TO GET SUPER
COMPETITIVE BECAUSE THE SUPPLY
CAN KEEP UP WITH DEMAND.
SAME WITH HOUSEKEEPERS,
CARETAKERS, PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
NC STATE MANAGERS.
I'M REALLY SHOCKED.
>> REALLY?
>> REALLY? >> THEY ARE ALREADY PAYING
OVERTIME, HOLIDAYS, VACATION,
PROVIDING A VEHICLE, MILEAGE IF
THEY CAN'T, BENEFITS, SO MANY
THINGS THEY DID NOT USED TO
PROVIDE INCLUDING MOST NANNIES
ARE REFUSING TO WORK OVER 40
HOURS A WEEK EVEN THOUGH THERE
IS STILL OVERTIME.
I EDUCATE MY CLIENTS TO FOLLOW
MARKET PRACTICES SO ALL THESE
THINGS ARE PRETTY COMMON EXCEPT
DOES A CLIENT HAVE TO COME HOME
EVERY FIVE HOURS TO RELIEVE
THEIR NANNY TO HAVE A BREAK?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT
WOULD BE POSSIBLE.
>> IS NOT PRACTICAL.
>> PAY THEM FOR THAT MEAL
MISSED?
MISSED?
MISSED? >> I DON'T KNOW NANNIES OFTEN
EVEN THE CHILDREN AND NAP SO
THEY GET DOWN TIME AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
LIKE THAT. I HAVE A HARD TIME
UNDERSTANDING OF LIKE CLIENTS
HAVE IT HARD ALREADY TO TEACH
THEM TO SELL THEMSELVES TO THE
CANDIDATES OUT THERE BECAUSE
THERE IS SO MUCH COMPETITION.
>> WHAT ARE PEOPLE PAYING
ANYWAY ON AVERAGE?
ANYWHERE FROM 30000-70,000?
WHAT IS THE PRICE?
>> BASIC FULL-TIME NANNY GETS
45000-60,000 A YEAR.
A YEAR AGO WE SAID 40-45.
HOUSEHOLD MANAGER NANNY SCHOOL-
AGE CHILDREN AND HOUSEHOLD
DUTIES GET 60-70,000 A YEAR AND
HOURLY HOUSEKEEPERS MAKING 30-
35 AN HOUR MINIMUM.
NEWBORN CARE SPECIALIST 35-$50
AN HOUR, A LOT OF MONEY.
>> DOES IT MAKE IT WORSE FOR
FAMILIES?
FAMILIES?
FAMILIES? >> HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD THEY
HAVE TO GIVE?
IT HAS TO BE CHALLENGING.
>> THIS PUTS PEOPLE ON A LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD.
PLAYING FIELD. IF YOU WERE GOING OUT THROUGH A
SERVICE, A FAMILY NOT USING A
SERVICE DOES THAT MAKE IT MORE
LEVEL FOR YOU?
MORE APPEALING?
MORE APPEALING? >> MORE FAMILIES WILL COME TO
USE THE SERVICES TO GET A FAIR
SHAKE.
SHAKE.
SHAKE. I
SHAKE. I THINK THEY ARE HAVING TO
COMPETE SO HARD ON ONLINE
SOURCES TO GET NANNIES.
THEY DON'T KNOW ALL THE INS AND
OUTS OF CONTRACTS TO HELP
UPHOLD THE EXPECTATIONS THEY DO
PAY MORE OR GIVE MORE THAN THEY
WANT TO.
WANT TO.
WANT TO. THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN HELP
WITH.
WITH.

NANNY WANTS TO WORK FOR.
IS GOING TO LOVE YOUR CHILDREN,
GET ATTACHED TO YOUR CHILDREN

THE JOB OVER SOME OF THE
BENEFITS BECAUSE SHE LIKES HER
FAMILY.
