[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW vast majority of people say Nanny in DC but they don’t pay Nanny wages.

$100,000 a year with full benefits is bare minimum.

Gloria Richards is a famous Nanny and she charges $167 an hour. But $100k is going rate.

Sound right as back in 1996 my cousin married a nanny who worked for hedge fund guy and she was making $40k a year, free room and board, full benefits. They gave her a $10,000 wedding gift check when she got married. Even used their Hampton house for free if she took vacation.

In NYC and San Fran in 2023 going rate is $150,000 to $220,000 for a nanny.

Real Nannies pass the Nanny Association Exam, speak multiple languages. In case of my cousins wife she had a Nursing Degree. And was a certified newborn care specialist.

And in Manhattan even with 200k a year the nanny gets free room and board and food stipend.

Vast majority DC parents have an illegal or a women they are taking advantage of.

If a real Nanny a person would need to earn 500k or more to make it worth while.

Really? And what do these super nannies do?  Our last nanny couldn't make a grilled cheese sandwich without burning it, and sent the kids out in 40 degree weather with no coat.  I've yet to hire a nanny that didn't require a serious amount of micromanaging to get tasks done like kids' laundry and homework supervision.  [/quote]

Sounds like you either can’t afford a great nanny or you can’t hire effectively.

If every nanny must be micromanaged, then it’s you. You. You’re the problem, it’s you. [/quote]
