Well, market rate is $20/hr per kid. But with the older ones since you are likely going to expect the nanny to care for them all day when they are sick or off school (which is basically constant) you need to pay for them full time. So for your needs $60/hr would be fair.

If paying "over the table" then you will need to bump that up to compensate for taxes. 60* 15% = $69/hr

You're so funny, PP.




Market rate in DC is $15-17/hr for one child. $17-19/hr for two and $20-22/hr for three. These are remarkably steady market rates and easily verifiable. No one is paying $20/hr per kid.

In your case, OP, because your nanny will be watching three kids for some hours of the day, and likely all day on teacher work days and other BIS days, I would offer the three kid market rate of $20/hr for all hours worked.

Just shut up. I get $20/ hr for one kid in DC. Stop giving false information.

Exactly. DC area "market" rate was $15/hr twenty years ago.

+1. It would depend on how easy your baby and the older children are to handle, too.

Wow hyperbole!

OP, for one infant, $15-20 is the norm. Because you have two other children who will need care everyday part-time, and there will be days that you need care full-time for all three, pay at a three child rate so that there is less figuring each week. Live-out nannies make $20-30+/hour for three children, and OT is 1.5 times that rate. If you are looking for someone on the books, be prepared to do a bit of paperwork and factor the employer portion of FICA into your calculation along with worker's compensation and unemployment insurance. Good luck, OP!

Yes, this is correct. For one infant, $15-20 is the norm, I do not know anyone who pays more. We have interviewed 30+ nannies earlier this year, and have heard a lots of fantasy numbers like some of the posts cited here, but at the of the day we hired one for $15 (net), and we pay taxes for her on top it. A few nannies who asked more are still on the market, even today, as I know the ads by heart. It is not what one think the job is worth, but also what parents in DC can pay. Parents who can pay $20+ per child are not on this forum, - they can afford agencies and do not need to put up with nannies citing fantasy rates in response to honest questions by this OP.

No need to even ask how you imagine an adult woman lives on net of $12-13/hr. in this area, because of course that's none of your concern, Troll.

Once again just shut up. Parents who pay $20 +per child are 100% in this forum. I got my well paying nanny job from this forum. They are nice family and good Nannie who use this forum.
So get the hell out of here.

Aren't you a class act. I almost believe anyone would pay you more than minimum wage to be their "nannie".
