Nannies, how much would you charge?

[Anonymous]

To take care of a newborn and a 2 year old for 40 hours a week with fed holidays off, 10 days paid leave, and week's worth of pay for Xmas bonus? Car required and in suburban MD -- Rockville area.

Depends on what you have to offer.

[Anonymous]

$15/hr at least for a newborn and 2yr old.

[Anonymous]

23 if nanny knows anything.

[Anonymous]

I would charge $17-$19/hour (depending on your needs and expectations), and mileage reimbursement.

[Anonymous]

Fluent english would be required as well as legal status and at least a year of childcare experience

10:38 here. By needs and expectations I meant what kind of schedule do you have in mind, what childcare and non childcare tasks do you need performed, are you laid back and pleasant or uptight and controlling, etc. for an easy-going family asking for basic duties that I feel will respect me I will charge at the lower end. For an uptight family with lots of rules,expectations, and extra duties I will quote them a higher rate.

All over the map...

Nanny with 10+ years experience here. I would charge $17 an hour minimum with the expectation of gas reimbursement for using my own vehicle. Included in the $17 an hour, I would be willing to do children's laundry, bottle cleaning, meal prep, and any other child related tasks.

I get one month's salary for each year end bonus.

OP here, yes those would be the expectations --- not cooking, but preparing meals for kids, kid's laundry only, bottle washing, folding kids clothes and putting them away, etc. TV is allowed one hour a day. I am not particularly uptight, I dont think! hahaa.... I am not sure what uptight would look like!

I think you should have no problem finding a qualified nanny for your children. Just make sure when interviewing candidates that you are clear with your expectations. Personally, what you are offering is a dream job for me. You get the newborn baby fix and the 2 year old who is constantly learning new things. Good luck

$20/hr minimum for me (but I'm not in your area), but I would go a dollar or two lower if you included health insurance (or a health insurance stipend) in your offer.

Really depends on the area and skills/experience of the nanny.

Anywhere from $16 to $26.

[Anonymous]

$17-19, and time and a half if you ever need over 40 hours.

Leave room for future raises (these nannies quoting anything over $20 are dreaming).

It would be great if you could offer a few sick days too. I see you've offered 10 paid vacation days, but the 'norm' is 10 vacation days + a few (3-5) sick days.
