Nannies and adult caregivers in Argentina to see 1.5% pay rise in June 2026

Nannies and adult caregivers in Argentina are set to receive a 1.5% salary increase in June 2026, marking the final phase of a collective bargaining agreement. This adjustment will be applied to the sixth month of the year, coinciding with the payment of the first installment of the Sueldo Anual Complementario (SAC), or annual bonus.

These updated figures affect the fourth category of domestic workers, which includes individuals providing non-therapeutic assistance and care to various age groups, such as children, adolescents, and the elderly. For June 2026, the minimum hourly rates are set at $3,862.18 with lodging and $4,295.26 without lodging. Monthly salaries for caregivers employed on a full-time basis will be $488,326.19 with lodging and $541,255.35 without lodging.

As with other domestic service roles, employers are legally obligated to register their nannies and adult caregivers with ARCA (Federal Administration of Public Revenue). This registration process can be completed virtually through the ARCA platform, ensuring compliance with labor laws.
