Are you all really paying $30 an hour for a good nanny?

[Anonymous]

Is that the current rate for a legal-to-work, college educated, English speaking nanny?

No

We got a nanny who isn’t college educated but otherwise meets your criteria and started with one infant at $15. Each year there’s been a raise plus a raise with the second baby.

How long has the nanny been with you and what’s their hourly rate now?

Please specific you live in a Ohio town with three stoplights and a drug addiction problem before speaking. Thank you.

$15? Really? I haven't had a nanny in years, but I do recall paying that around 2010.

Yes. College educated nannies are definitely starting at $30 if not more.

We wanted “some college” but were firm on English fluency in speaking, reading, and writing. Our nanny is American and has a degree in literature (I think) and started with us in January at $30 for one baby.

We live in a major city and none of us use drugs. Stoplights at most corners, because that’s how cities work.

I do not believe you. Even the non-English speaking nannies I know are over $20 and paid in cash.

It’s really simple math. Surely you can do it.

Your disbelief is irrelevant to the reality.

PP did not state the amount of each raise nor the amount of time the nanny has been with them.

It's really simple reading. Surely you can do it.

New poster here. I paid $16/hr in 2021 for a nanny with this exact profile.

Anne Arundel. So not DC but not rural Ohio. Sorry if that upsets you!

Why does the nanny need to be college educated? Our nanny did not attend any college, but is legal to work, kind, patient, fluent in English, and great with our kid. We pay her $22 an hour.
