You're leaving out key details OP. How many hours per day/week do you need? If you only need part time hours, that will drive the hourly rate up. |

OP here. Really? How do you suggest she pick up my now school-aged child from school when I work full time if she doesn't drive and the school is 15 minutes away by car? Open to ideas. |

45 hours a week (5 hours of it being 1.5x in line w/ MD law). |

Educate yourself: Affordable care act hardly covers any; just a year checkup!!! If you have any underlying condition and if you need to redo your Mammogram w/ diagnosed it’d cost up to $500—the reason why Nannies are getting up to $450 monthly for healthcare. Healthcare isn’t affordable unless you’re cover by the state and only report about 22k/year. Folks, wake up! |

| You only pay a lot if you pick a high deductible plan. Anyway, these are healthcare expenses, not monthly premiums, monthly premiums are pretty low with Aca. |

| You are wrong, Everything is covered under Obamacare as much as anything is covered, as far as healthcare goes in this country. Even those covered through the employer still get huge bills if they get sick, and pay for it out of pocket. The premiums are quite low but if anything serious happens, you still get bills depending on your deductible and other variables. Yes, preventive services are mostly free under ACA, and other covered services will result in bills that are sometimes very high but should not be paid by your employer. |

$25 is more than fair, especially with your son in school. |

$30-35 is standard rate in Bethesda/Potomac area. Healthcare is $300-350 towards montly. Car should be provided for driving children to school and activities.
These are standard things employers should be ok with before starting to look for a nanny. Some people have way too many expectations from their nannies. |

| We pay $25/hour plus 1.5x overtime for our nanny who drives in her car. Nanny consistently gets more than 5 hours per week of overtime. We reimburse her mileage at the federal rate. |

$25/hr is cheap |

| In Bethesda, we pay $25/hour and it’s very generous. Had nanny for 5+ years, started around $18/hour and has increased over the years. Teacher aides with more experience make $20 or less an hour and work a lot harder. We provide vehicle - if not, you need to pay IRS rate per miles driven. I call BS on all the $30-35/hour. We only pay that for temp care in emergencies, not for guaranteed hours. |

| PP, teacher's aid compensation has nothing to do with nanny rates. Nanny rates have always been much higher than what aids, or lead teachers. make in a daycare. Daycare field is very underpaid but I am sure you do not want your nanny to be underpaid and miserable. She may talk to other nannies at playground and be really, really upset if she finds out they are paid closer to $30 an hr. Of course, if you hired someone with no experience, then it is acceptable to pay them $25. |

| ACA isn’t affordable AT ALL! Tried applying and never got it as i get about 71k/52 weeks. Have nanny friends that get paid half cash/ half on payroll and they are covered. Again, there’s a lot that people don’t know about ACA, does not benefit ALL and this isn’t politics, btw. |

Yes it does, when it is one kid in elementary school. Don’t know any nannies making $30/hour (maybe infants are different)? In Bethesda they are making around $25/hour for after school, guaranteed part time hours.
