For one infant--$12-$14/hr.

For two children--$14-$16/hr

For a share--$16-$18/hr

Never trust a nanny who gives a wide range of expected rates. It's pretty clear she doesn't understand her market.

This is what we pay. $16/hr for two infants, N Arlington

I get $25/hr in the DC burbs.

You are long gone from this thread but someone quoted this and it made me furious.

I live in Seattle and personally know nannies in my neighborhood who were hired at $10/hr, $15/hr, $20/hr, $21/hr, and $25/hr. The $10-$20 range was all for nannies starting with one child. Clearly the market is quite variable depending on what a family is looking for, how much value they place on childcare (both of the $10/hr nannies quit after they realized how underpaid they were), and what they feel a candidate brings to the table.

I agree. Part of the problem is most people don't understand the difference between sitter and nanny.

Your MB isn't very smart. You are way overpaid for the DC burbs.

But you love the lying $35+/hr posters, don't you?

The nanny trolls here are relentless.

You have no clue what every parent is paying for child care, do you?
