Hi, OP. Since the first poster just wanted to be an asshole I figured I'd help you out a bit. Here are two threads discussing what you asked.

If you are in DC, OP, $9-$10/hr, tops. Same as one half of a nanny share.

How many times does it have to be said that it is not a true share, unless you're willing to acknowledge the nanny as an equal partner and her child as an equal priority? Otherwise you should not expect to pay only half a share rate. More like share rate plus $1-$3 more/hour.

My employer paid my regular high rates when I brought my child along. It really depends on how good you are.

Same here in a previous job. I was hired at a specific rate, then after the agreement and I was talking about my family, they asked if I wanted to bring my son. Nothing about the previous agreement changed.

+1

If you and nanny want this to be a share, in which your child sometimes takes precedence and her child sometimes takes precedence, pay half a share rate ($9-10/hr). If you want your child to be the priority and her child to fit into your DC's schedule/activities/needs, you'll be paying ~75-85% of the nanny's regular rates.

How many times does it need to be said that this is a terrible set up for the employer and a great set up for the nanny? Nannies will say and do anything to try to talk you into this but you won't hear the same thing from employers. The nannies are VERY disingenuous about this situation.

You'll end up paying more than a share for the privilege of less care for your child, all the problems and complications a nanny bringing her child brings along, liability, insurance issues etc etc.

If there was any truth to your nonsense, my pediatric psychiatrist employer, would not have welcomed me to bring my child. She never even expected a discount. Her husband was also an MD, so they certainly would never settle for anything, but the very best.

There's no relationship between the occupation of boss parents and quality of their nannies. There's lots of non-doctors out there with great nannies and lots of MDs with crap nannies. Their occupation is not a medal for you.

I also fail to see what a degree in psychiatry has to do with child-rearing. Her knowledge of anti-psychosis therapies doesn't make her an authority on childcare. She'll be helpful, though, when you'd dealing with a schizo child, I'll give you that.

You may want to read up on the differences between psychiatry and psychology.

10:19 is in a sad state of delusion. Everyone knows that the more money you have, the more you can afford. The poor person does not get the biggest house in the best neighborhood.

Likewise, higher earning parents can afford the best childcare, whereas more middle class families simply have fewer options with the level of services they can afford.

She might be delusional. I don't know.

What I do know is that smart people with a lot of money have no interest in the nanny bringing her child. It brings nothing but problems, if you don't need the reduced rate you can get from such a nanny.
