Nanny here making $38 per hr. We have to charge more because the cost of living is insane. My rent goes up every year, and every time I shop for food, the price is higher than a month ago. My $38 now is $25 of 3 years ago.

not the PP but that’s for live in. That’s $480 for a 40 hour week. No rent/utilities to pay.


Its illegal to deduct room and board from live in nannies


No it’s not ! As long as you are paying them the minimum hourly wage in your state. VA has a minimum hourly wage or $12/ hour , so assuming OP lives in VA, they are not doing anything illegal . Keep in mind they are also providing full room and board for the nanny, which pretty much leaves the nanny with a discretionary spending of $2000 a month. How many blue collar workers do you know who have $2000 left over after paying rent, utilities and groceries every month?

Is this above or under table?

You still need to pay minimum wage for live in and $15/,he is minimum wage in most areas now. Also live-in is paid for all hours if over 49 and some states require OT ,Even for live ins.


Not even close. Only 6 states + DC have a minimum wage of $15 and over. Virginia for example is $12/hour (and many states are still 7.75/hr)

Due to the ECE Pay Equity Fund, a nanny can work in a child care center for anywhere from 21-36/hours depending on level of education. That's a straight 40 hours per week, with anything over being OT with free health care (Health Care for Child Care)and benefits like paid holidays, vacation, sick days, retirement contibution, life insurance, etc. Being a nanny has become not as great of a deal.

Or are you saying that’s the blended rate?


We heard the same from a service, interviewed a couple TERRIBLE candidates, and realized they are getting the same random applicants that are likely posting all over DCUM.

It is extremely difficult to find a passable (not good) nanny. I stick with native English speakers under in their late 20s/early 30s; they have ambitions beyond being a nanny, so they aren't bitter and rigid.

I pay less than $30 for 2 kids. And I am by far the most generous employer I know, paying what I do.


I'm in the same boat as you. I pay $27 per hour and I was told by my nanny that is the highest she's ever been paid. Our nanny said offers are generally in the $18-$22 dollar range. With annual $1 raises, she'll be at $30 by the time we part ways.

We just have a before school morning nanny for 10 hours a week M-Th going on the 2nd year. $250 a week on the books. No health insurance or other benefits but guaranteed pay of course so she gets all school holidays, sick days, bad weather days, etc off. Thought it would be really hard to find someone for just these short hours but she has a full-time nanny job that starts an hour after leaving here and it's worked out so well.

I don’t know… most of my friends in NW pay $25 for multiple kids. Obviously Nannie’s are not college grads and speak little English. Kids’ enrichments come from somewhere else

WOW $20 hourly 6 years ago and 2 kids, gosh i was making $28(before taxes) caring for an infant back in 2019. AND aca wasn’t an option for me as employers always reimbursed me the premium. Nannies def make way more than teachers these days, also they work more than teachers and put up with all the parents and children’s sickness.
