[quote=Anonymous]Op, you can find a nanny for $25 per hour, but you will have to compromise in terms of experience. The nannies who have been with families for years likely gotten regularl pay raises, so $25 would be a pay cut for them. However, if you are open to one who is younger, or transitioning to nannying after doing other kids of work, you can find someone for $25 per hour. The other thing we had a hard time with is that once we found a nanny, we also offered 2 weeks vacation and 5 sick days plus federa Holidays, and they started getting grumpy about vacation once they found out that other nannies had more. The vacation was not guaranteed, but their families often did multiple vacations each year, and we really only did 2 weeks - one in the summer and around the holidays. This became an issue with 2 different nannies, but I don’t know how we could have solved it, as we really didn’t get much more vacation time from work. [/quote]
