nanny rate

[Anonymous]

I live in NYC and would assume nannies make a higher amount here. Our nanny works 50 hours per week and makes $15 per hour for one child. Some make a bit higher for one child, but not much. The going rate for 2 kids is $18-22 per hour. That is very much the norm here. My friends and I do discuss what we pay and we are all in the same range.

My sister lives in LA and has one child, and pays $20 per hour for a nanny who drives, which I understand there is a premium for. Again, she says most of her friends pay the same.

I can't believe that nannies in DC are making $20-$30 per hour... something about that does not seem right.

It is not about “right”! Like any profession, some nannies have more education, training, talents and special skills than others and demand a higher wage.

I will never understand why this is so hard to understand.

How does an adult live on $15/hr in NYC? Your housing costs are even more expensive than in the DC area!

What isn't right is that you think $15/hr is a livable wage for NYC!

I live in Pittsburgh, and I pay my nanny $20/hour, guaranteed 45 hours a week with paid sick days, vacation time, etc. We have two small children and she is responsible for the nursery school run, etc. That's the going rate even in Pittsburgh for an experienced, career nanny.

What are you smoking that you actually think the person raising and taking care of your child should only make $15/hr?!

This is a lie.

I’ve seen listings with agencies in NYC that spit on $15/hr.
