Yes. $18-24 at the top end for straight nanny. Nannies with special skills— college degrees, education training etc— make more.

Re: cheap wages above: what special skills do the $30 nannies have?

They are smart enough to bypass families who think paying $19/hr for 2 kids is a good wage and instead earn $30/hr.

I don't get this. I live in foxhall, not in the most expensive homes there but 1 million+ and I don't know a single person that pays their nanny $30/hr unless they have an army of kids. I pay my nanny $22/hr, 15 days PTO, and insurance stipend for my 1 year old and 4 year old (in school fulltime). She speaks fluent English and has roughly 10 years experience. Other people I know in the area pay around the same too anywhere from $18-$25/hr with your standard benefits.

What don’t you get?

That there are ppl who pay more than $19/hr? That the families you know don’t represent every family?

We gave our nanny a 2$/hr increase. Very similar situation to yours. Our 2nd child was born, and 1st child was in school 8:30-3.

Haha. What I'm saying is the majority of people don't pay their nannies $30.00/hr. The families that do generally have 3+ kids and require a lot of overtime which bumps up the nanny's salary. I'm sure you've been a nanny for every affluent family out there so you would know how much they pay.

You know every affluent family in the area? Or do you know your friends and what they pay their nannies? You actually have no idea what the majority of ppl pay their nanny. You know what the majority of ppl in you circle pay. I know that I wouldn’t work for families whose address isn’t in DC. Since, my experience has shown they pay far less and expect a lot more for the lower pay.

Um do you know where Foxhall Village is? It's a DC address. What I'm saying is within my group (as mentioned in a previous post) most people don't pay that much unless they have an army of kids which requires a lot of overtime. Reading comprehension is not your strength. How are you getting paid so much?

Well let’s see...

You said, and I quote, “Haha. What I'm saying is the majority of people don't pay their nannies $30.00/hr. The families that do generally have 3+ kids and require a lot of overtime which bumps up the nanny's salary. I'm sure you've been a nanny for every affluent family out there so you would know how much they pay.”

I know where Foxhall is and I never said YOU don’t pay your nanny well. I said YOU don’t know every affluent family, just the ones within your circle and YOU don’t know what everyone pays. I also said I wouldn’t work for families that didn’t have a DC address. I never said YOU don’t have a DC address. I also asked, “what don’t you get?” Since you were trying to comprehend that there are families that would pay more than you since you live in a 1 million+ neighborhood. Now about that reading comprehension...

I personally have had better luck paying an additional $5/hr when my nanny is in charge of both kids rather than increasing the overall rate $2/hr.
It ends up being about the same amount of money, but I think there is just a psychological boost when you know you are getting paid more on those snow days and holidays that you have both kids.
