"Ninety-two percent of domestic workers are women, and 57 percent of them are Black, Hispanic, Asian American, or Pacific Islander. We entrust the safety and cleanliness of our homes to Latin American workers, who make up 62 percent of house cleaners. Whether they maintain our house, care for our elders, or watch our children, there is a wide and long-standing gap between the wages of domestic workers and all other workers in America. Whereas the median wage for workers in this country is nearly $20 an hour, it is barely $12 for domestic workers. The gap is widest for nannies—97 percent of whom are women—who earn a median of just $11.60 an hour. And although the cost of living has steadily risen, domestic workers’ wages have remained mostly stagnant for decades."

The Most Essential Work, the Lowest Pay

American capitalism relies on free and cheap domestic labor. Our economic systems cannot be truly equitable and just unless we compensate care work fairly.

Summer break is almost here! Do you have travel plans ready or are starting to think about them? Planning to travel with (or without) your child's nanny? Here are 4 ways to travel respectfully with a nanny:

✈ 1: Make sure all travel in which the nanny is asked to accompany your family is mutually agreed upon.

✈ 2: When traveling, compensate the nanny at an additional rate.

✈ 3: Provide the nanny with her own accommodations for the trip.

✈ 4: If the nanny doesn’t accompany you on your trip, pay her for the time.
