[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found our amazing and brilliant nanny on care.com but also signed up with an agency.  Don’t expect a bargain, OP.  Good nannies are expensive.

Our nanny has a liberal arts degree but has taught in preschool and taken nearly all her graduate school classes in Early Childhood Development.  She lives alone and has willingly formed a pod with us (we see no one but nanny and she sees no one but us).  She’s older and has absolutely no problem asking passers by to step back from our baby’s stroller.

She’s just smart.  I guess that’s the bottom line.  She gets it.  And she truly loves my son and would never put him at risk.  [/quote]

That's amazing. Seems it would be hard to find. May I ask how much you pay? Id assume it would be hard to find someone who can live alone and work exclusively for someone without a higher wage.

We are looking for someone to start January 2022. Also, might I ask if your nanny might have any referrals of other nannys? Happy to give more info about myself and what we are looking from. Advice from other moms on here so far is that word of mouth is the best way so am giving it a try! New to the area after living in NYC for several years. Based in Arlington. I appreciate any help you can offer/insight into costs if you don't mind.[/quote]

We’re in West Los Angeles which, I believe, skews higher than  DC but our nanny started with us two years ago at $30 an hour and is now up to $32 an hour for our toddler and newborn.

Sorry I can’t help with word-of-mouth!  [/quote]

Thanks for the pricing info!
