How much should we offer for a toddler and infant in Arlington ?

[Anonymous]

OP, you can offer $15-16 an hour starting salary, making sure you pay the correct overtime rates and offer vacation, sick days and holidays. As someone else said, you talk about salary in gross, not net. You will probably end up hiring someone with less experience, but that could work out. But the most important thing is finding the right match for your family.

Thanks. Update from our initial interviews: it looks like most nannies are willing to work for $15-16. They also offered cooking for kids, cleaning after kids and doing laundry.

Standard nanny duties. Glad the interviews are going well.

This is what I thought. You would be surprised how many "nannies" told us over the phone: "No, I don't cook at all." Or "I don't clean".

My question was: "what do you do when our baby has a nap".
Answer: "I watch TV, I am on the phone, I read a book. It's my time off"
Q: Even when the baby sleeps for 2h??
A: Yes.

Housekeepers clean your toilets. Not nannies.

It's you again.. No one said anything about cleaning toilets But nanny is being paid by an hour and when the baby goes to sleep, she can clean up his toys or fold his clothes.

She ain't much of a nanny if she can't fold his clothes or clean his toys WITH him, while he's awake. And you ain't much of a parent if you can't do it, either.
Yikes! Is this what they call "the blind leading the blind"?

I think this may be a troll post but if not you will not keep a good nanny very long with your attitude.

Go back and reread. She wants someone to "clean." Thats exactly what a "cleaner" does. Duh.
