Uh huh. We get it. Still $20-$25/hour.

Feel free to not accept the job if you feel you should be paid more.

I’d take the position for $25, I would love the 40 hours and 4 weeks of vacation yearly sounds heaven to me.

A $20-$25 per hour nanny is probably just as good as a $25-$30 per hour. Start at lower range and give raises/bonuses if deserving of them.

Extra duties involve keeping kids toys and clothes tidy, serving kids' meals and teaching them to clean up every time, plus starting any kid laundry that needs to be dealt with immediately (we do everything else, like regular laindry, food and supplies shopping, etc. on the weekend).

$25-30/hour

I’ve been a nanny for 15 years and this sounds like a dream job to me. $20-$25 an hour should get you a great nanny IMO.
