[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agency here. We are primarily placing at $27-32hr with really great candidates. Our last client paying $25hr was around Thanksgiving and they lost 2 candidates to higher offers but did end up securing someone at $25hr on the 3rd offer.

My agency personally doesn't post our available positions. Some agencies only post their best jobs and (unfortunately) some agencies have been known to post completely fabricated jobs to attract higher quality candidates. This "bait and switch" is a huge pain point in the nanny world for nannies applying at agencies and can give them a bad rap. If you have one child and don't require any household duties aside from child-related dishes, tidying, food prep, and laundry, you should be able to secure good long term candidates in the $27-30hr range.

I hope that's helpful![/quote]

I had a local agency quote me $35/hour for one child. Did some digging and couldn't find any satisfied customers of the agency, and in fact many who said their assigned caregiver stopped showing up or would sporadically no call/no show and the agency was never able to provide backup care in a timely manner (as their website promises!). I wouldn't have an issue paying $30/hour for a quality nanny but I won't commit to that rate for unprofessional, unreliable behavior. That's more than what a starting classroom teacher makes for a class of 25+ kids![/quote]

Agency PP here. I was having intake calls with potential clients that were being quoted $40-50hr for one child at the height of the pandemic from another. It was wild. In 5 years+, we have never had candidates ask for that much nor families able/willing to pay that much for a one child standard nanny role.[/quote]
