I wanted to add, since someone brought it up, that she's American, had several years experience before us, and drives the kids in her own car. We don't pay for health insurance, but we compensate her for gas, and she does jave one week off of her choosing, so we have to pay her replacement then. She has sick days, too but she hardly ever uses them, and DH or I can usually cover for her. I think we are probably getting a deal.

How many hours a week does she work for the 1200? Are her living quarters separate?

She works 50 hours per week. She has a private bedroom in the basement and a bathroom she only has to share when we have overnight guests.

That's very reasonable. We're looking for someone to live-in or live-out and have the same setup for a provate bedroom in the basement. How did you find your nanny?

That is not reasonable, or a normal rate. That sucks.

Wow! $6 an hour for twins??
I'm not sure if you're in MD,DC, or Va so I don't know if overtime factors in.

It might not be normal, but I'd love to hire a nanny for that price!!! Please please tell me how you found her? We're looking into this for the end of the year and need advice.

Good lord she's cheaper than an aupair.

As a nanny I was just offered a live in position for one toddler at 750a a week. I will be on the clock 6 days a week.
