[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to tell the agency. So much of this is unacceptable (would your employer find tardiness/call outs acceptable)? For reference, I am in Chevy Chase with one toddler and a FT nanny paid on the books at $26/hr plus benefits. Yes, she has taken sick time, but always let us know she is under the weather the night before or morning of. And she has even offered to reach out to her nanny friends to substitute in when we are in a pinch! She washes her lunch dishes and our child’s dishes. She often will put our dirty dishes in the dishwasher too. I’m just saying that many nannys go above and beyond and you can do better especially at $30/hr through an agency! [/quote]

Never heard of $26 hourly in today’s time. Most nannies in Bethesda/Chevy Chase are making $30-$35 with all benefits. In regards to nanny no showing up at her time, that’s not acceptable. Should talk to her and make it clear that she needs to be on time according to contract and you need somebody that’s reliable.[/quote]. Most I know in Bethesda are paid $20/hr cash or $25 on the books for 1. (Parent here, have spoken to multiple families about nanny pay). [/quote]

Mom here. We live in Chevy Chase and the two nannies that work in our neighborhood are paid $32 before taxes. Both hired through well known agency in the area. 7 years ago we paid our nanny about $25 plus benefits and healthcare. [/quote]

Are those long time employees with raises? Or more than 3 kids?

Because I’m a current parent and I’ve never met anyone who paid close to what we do for two kids, $27/hour.  Rarely have I met anyone who paid over $22/hour.  People would prefer daycare at that point considering the lack of reliable good nannies available.  I know this because we are trying to find our nanny her next position and people are laughing in our faces at her rate.

It just seems weird you would have these data points if your kids are older.[/quote]
