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

We pay $26 for one kid for our English speaking, driving nanny. She’s not college educated but fantastic.

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

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

You can't be in the DMV at that price, that's minimum wage here.

Why would someone with a college degree be a nanny?

Name the city

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!

Anne Arundel County is not the DMV.

Depends where you live, I’m in LA and get paid $35-40/hr.

Is your nanny undocumented or are you in a town of 20 people? I’m a nanny and haven’t been paid under $20 since 2002.

I agree. But, I’m the first $15 hr poster.

But, I know a few other moms in PG who also pay $16. Do you consider PG to be the DMV?

Because nannies in HCOL areas make six-figures while working one week off and one week on with rich families.

Above should say that I’m NOT the $15 poster.

LA nanny again- My degree is in teaching, where I made 70k. Last year I made 115k as a nanny and this year I’m on track to make $130k. Working for celebrities is kind of terrible, but with long days (ie: OT), travel per diems, and bonuses, you can make double a teachers salary. That’s why I do it. If we travel, I get paid $40/hr + OT after 9hr, double OT after 12, then an overnight flat rate of $150, plus a daily $200 per diem, for being away from home. I didn’t ask for any of this btw, this was the contract presented to me. Teaching nannies are in demand.

I pay $30 for a good babysitter even when kids are asleep so why not?

My nanny is a mid-twenties woman who was born in the US. We paid her $16 last year, now $18 with our second child. This is on par with what other parents I know in PG and Anne Arundel counties pay.

She doesn't. It's just virtue signaling. As in, "of course we care about education!"

I think the $30 thing is an outlier.

We pay $25 per hour for an infant and a toddler, in DC, on the books, 40 hours a week. She’s phenomenal. English speaking, highly recommended, fantastic. Long time nanny. She does not have a college degree. And I assume that’s hard to find. I also don’t really understand the value of that for a nanny.

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

Your disbelief is irrelevant to the reality.

Not if you are lying, it isn’t.
