How many hours?
If it's around 45 hours/week: Nanny: $16-17/hr base rate, time and a half after 40 hours. Nanny share: $17-20/hr base rate, time and a half after 40 hours. That's total, so $8.50-10 per family. |

| Oh please. DH works 80 hours a week (for nanny pay) and doesn't get time and a half. I think it's obnoxious to expect hourly pay. Should be weekly pay like all the rest of us. |

Who are "all the rest of us"? Would you care to guess how many hourly employees there are in the USA today? Also doesn't matter what you think about it, FLSA guarantees OT for live-out domestic employees. |

Starting rate for a nanny is generally $13-17 for one child, $15-18 for two. We found a number of good candidates looking for $15 per hour for one child. Most of them had between 0 and 3 years experience as a full time nanny plus many years of part time or seasonal experience with kids before that. Several at the $15 price point were recent college grads.
Note that the rates above are average hourly rates, not base rates. So, if your nanny works 50 hours a week at $15 per hour, she would earn $750 gross per week. To address the FLSA ot requirements, be sure to have a written contract that specifies that $15 is the average hourly rate, and also specifies the guaranteed weekly dollar amount (here, $750) and number of hours to be worked each week in consideration for that weekly pay (here, 50). Then use a calculator like the ones you can find at gtm to back out the base and OT rates. Put the base and ot rates in your contract to protect yourself. In this example, the base rate would be $13.64, the ot rate would be $20.46, and any hours beyond the 50 you guarantee would be paid at $20.46. |

If you want quality care then you should pay more. I have 20 years of experiences and I consider myself an Child Educator (this is what my employer calls me) because I educate their children not just babysit.
I get paid $23 dollars an hour( that includes gas$)and that is part time. So if it's part time especially just after school then it should be between $15-$20 per hour. IF it's full time then it should be $17-$20 per hour. Nannyshare are about the same. I see some ad's for way lower amount and they want way too many things from the nanny. Again if you want quality care like I give then you need to pay more. I am also first aide/CPR certified, have a college education. I teach the children art (I am an artist) and music and a foreign language etc. This is why I get paid a lot. They are a really nice family though too. I care for two twins. |

| I agree with these posts. I am a new mom in Bethesda and wouldn't consider paying the people who care for my most important asset in life any less than they deserve. You get what you pay for and I want the best for my child. I don't want an unhappy nanny. |

Sure you are, 1:17. Of course. You only *sound* like a nanny.
OP, $15-17/hr for one child is market rate in this area and you will have many good candidates if you offer your job at that rate. |

+1. I don't necessarily disagree with what 1:17 said but she's not an MB, she's a nanny. |

And another who agrees that 1:17 isn't a nanny. No mother refers to her child as an "asset". That's pretty hilarious. I love my kids but most days they fall far more in the liability column than asset!
