[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay $27/hour (divided between two families).  It's two kids for approximately 45 hours a week, though it occasionally varies.  We do not withhold taxes at our nanny's request, though would prefer it.  I realize this is unwise, but we had a terrible experience before finding this nanny, who was recommended by a personal friend.

When looking, my sense was the going rate was around $26-30/hour for a nanny with experience, slightly less for a nanny with minimal experience and slightly more for a career nanny with extensive experience.  I got the sense that the info on DCUM regarding rate was skewed with many nannies posting. 
 I also think a lot of nannies are uninterested in shares because they are a lot of work (I can't imagine keeping up with two toddlers all day!), but as a parent, I am really happy with our nanny share!   [/quote]

My mother has done nanny shares in D.C. and these rates are spot on for two kids.  She has taxes withheld and her hours are usually 45 hours a week.  I make sure her contract is comprehensive and includes vacation and sick days, and that she's paid even when the parents are away on vacation.  In DC, you are also required to have workers comp insurance so make sure you factor in the cost of that.[/quote]
