[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many hours? Absurd for 40, high end but not crazy at all if 50. More than 50, totally normal.

And of course a nanny share is more expensive than daycare. That was true before COVID, so it’s obviously true now.

FWIW, for 50 hours/week of care on Capitol Hill all in, I pay my nanny $70K. That’s 3 kids (no infants) but one family.[/quote]

+1. OP's post is useless without telling us how many hours is being used. 
If 50 hours, I could see it happen, with caveat that this nanny is a great nanny. Average nannies don't command that rate.

There is a WIDE variance in rates depending on quality of nanny. I have found someone below average at $11/hr and kept her a year. When I could afford more, I found an excellent nanny at $20/hr in 2019. [/quote]

OP here. It’s for 45 hours. We went ahead with it because all of the other options we were finding had a similar cost or were much, much less desirable.

OP again - I should have said... thanks for the input except for the off-topic Bethesda park nanny phone people. 
Thanks to all for the input![/quote][/quote]
