There are very few nannies who earn $25+ an hour unless they are special needs nannies or have jobs with significantly more duties than the norm, like a nanny/house manager. Or have 4+ children to mind.

Ignoramus.

We paid $19/hr for a nanny for two infants in NW DC. Former pediatric nurse, 20+ years of experience, very affectionate and knowledgeable. So, $9.5 per family. From what I hear, the rates are within the $18-$22 for a similar option.

I think even $18 is a little high for a share. I'd expect more like $16 total. $8/hr per family.

You must be in the middle of nowhere, or super stupid.

Or smart to pay going rates.

There are no "going" rates.
In the DC area, nannies earn anywhere from minimum wage to $30+ an hour. You may, however, have an average rate based on what you and your friends choose to tell each other.

If we want any actual facts, we need to see:

1. Pay stubs
2. W-2's

Of course there are going rates, don't be ridiculous. You advertise for a candidate with certain skills, people apply, you interview and you get an idea of what people ask when have the qualifications you are looking for. This is the range of a going rate.

Why would a nanny expect only $18 to $20 for two children when she can get $18 - $20 for one child?

Because not every nanny can get $18-$20 for one child.

Very helpful. I'm not the OP but this is really useful - thanks!

Better than average families usually find better than average nannies. They know what they want usually costs more.

They don't want what I typically see in the neighborhood playgrounds. They want a professional that doesn't need micromanagement.

The principle still holds. You advertise for what you want, see what comes in that meets your standards, and look at their asking rates. It's not rational to say there is no market rate for what you want, whatever it is.

The PP - just to add that with all the taxes, this arrangement ran at about $1,700 per family per month. We had one afternoon off so maybe for a full week it would be a hundred or so more.

Thing is, everyone wants something different, in spite of that list of basics.

What kind of person did you get? Where did you find her?

We found our nanny off the neighborhood list serv. We asked what her rate was and didnt try to negotiate- figured I wanted to keep her happy! She has been a nanny for years in the area. Our goal was someone who is a trustworthy person who can help teach/raise our daughter while at work. Second language, child development training, etc was a plus but wasn't nevessary.

I earn $19 an hour for one child. For two I would charge at least $30 (to be split by both families).

LOL! If you get $30/hr, please pass over their names. I have a bridge to Alaska I want to sell them.

I make $25 an hr for 2 non-infants, no share. I could probably get up to $30 with a share, but the extra $5 an hour isn't worth the hassle of a share or infants.
