We pay 35/hr for 4 kids. She’s been with us for 7 years and we aren’t exactly “desirable”—inconsistent schedules and kids close in age(2 being twin toddlers). |

Even if a family has more money than God himself, doesn’t mean they will pay out the ying yang for a Nanny.
Rich people can be cheap too. These Nannies that are bragging about how much cash flow they earn.....as well as cars, bonuses, etc. are bragging in my opinion. They go on + on about how much they get. It is likely they are inflating their income to make the rest of the Nannies feel bad. Don’t fall for it - No one makes that much. Especially in cold, hard ca$h for watching a child. |

I'm a nanny and make $30/hr for 2 kids plus bonuses, insurance, paid vacation, etc. I work for a very rich family though that outsources everything. I worked one other nanny job for a regular middle class family and was paid $20/hr for 2 kids with paid vacation and a bonus here and there, but no insurance stipend. The $30+/hr jobs are definitely out there but they're very hard to come across. I was introduced to my current family through a friend of a friend of my former boss... |

You are wrong, PP. and being a respected and high-paid nanny is so much more than “watching a child”. |

I am at $27 an hour for one child and know several nannies who start at $30. All agency placements. We are on the west side of Los Angeles. Yes, these jobs exist. |

Except our rents are crazy (1200 for a house share, 1500 for a studio, etc) has is expensive so is good and the taxes are ridiculous. Making 30/hr is just covering bills. Once taxes come out you on a 40 hr week you’re looking at 800-900/week. |

Dc has more expensive housing costs than LA. |

[b] Rent isn't bad in the valley and it was cheaper to buy so I'm a homeowner. If you're picky and need to be hip in west La or in Santa Monica then I guess you can rent! |

I’m actually in the valley and my 1 bed is 1375. When was the last time you actually looked at rental prices??? |

I met DB at a networking event for my husband's work.
He mentioned his wife was 8 months pregnant with twins and I said i was a nanny of multiples for 10 years and my current position was ending in a month. 3 years later it's worked out perfectly. |

I’m in the valley as well and pay $1195 for a single. And I live in a semi good part of the valley in porter ranch, right down the street from the university. When I was looking at apartments in Van Nuys they were so horrible but slightly cheaper singles. |

Wow. 1200 but yet so far!!! I’m in the valley too but close to studio city/Sherman oaks south side of Ventura. I work in BH so I can jump on the 405 pretty easy or take canyon roads when needed. I pay 1650 for my 1 bed, but it has parking and AC (it’s actually 2 parking spots but I’m single so the other sits free). I also have a huge porch, and amazing kitchen with dishwasher (woohoo). Nice walkable area. I love how this turned into LA rents. Haha. So many LA nannies |

My single is soooo small! Tiny kitchen!! It’s terrible. But it’s all I can afford. I have 1 parking spot which is all I need. There is a room with about 10 washers and dryers which is nice but obviously not as good as having it in your apartment. The area can get trafficky since I live right in front of Granda Hills charter. I work in woodlands hills and it takes me about 25 mins to get to work which isn’t bad. I used to work in Glendale before and my commute was 1+ hour bc of traffic |
