Going rate for nanny fall 2020

[Anonymous]

I have done some research and gather that nannies in the DC area typically make between $20-$25/hr. + benefits but curious if those rates have shifted given the pandemic situation and supply/demand. What are people finding the rate is for 1 child? 2?

That's on the high end. Our nanny is $17 per hour (2 kids)

Every person I’ve talk to in DC is paying $20 an hour.

That’s on the very low end.

There has never been a “going rate” since education and experience comes into the equation but I am assuming rates have gone up across the board due to demand.

Paying $20/hr on the books for an infant with paid vacation and sick time. I lost out on a number of offers I made when I was hiring to nannies who were given better offers. This are tough times, especially for nannies with experience.

It also matters A LOT where you live. Nannies get paid a lot more in Arlington than in Chantilly. It makes the most sense to ask on your neighborhood list serv what the going rate is for your neighborhood.

Frankly, it doesn’t matter what other employers say. What matters are a who will accept your position. Advertise whatever you want, but be prepared to increase it if you don’t like the quality of candidates who respond.

You are cheating her. She must be undocumented because a legal nanny would not take $17/hr for two kids.

I’m not going to say you are cheating her, but I will say she’s an idiot. No smart, educated and experienced nanny is charging $17/hr for one kid, much less 2 kids. No one else probably wanted to hire her and that’s why she took your job.
