Going rate for infant and toddler?

[Anonymous]

We are closer to baltimore. What's the going rate for a 2 month old and 2 year old?

[Anonymous]

How many hours per day/week?

What is the job description? And what type of nanny are you looking for?

[Anonymous]

Pay about $ 20.00 and above. if you can can't then send child to child care and stop having children you can't afford.

I would say look at rent in your surrounding area and go from there. Nice range is $17-20 if you want someone with infant exp. If you find someone who seems great but has less exp $15-17.

$15-17 for two little ones is fine. Will preschool be involved later too?

$12.hr in Baltimore would be top of the mark.

[Anonymous]

Agree, Baltimore is currently considerably less than dc area.

[Anonymous]

What about for occasional babysitting on the weekend? Same rates?

Do your part and hire a citizen.

$15 would be a solid rate in DC for some one with 1-3 years of experience and presumably Baltimore rates are less. I'd post a job at $12/hr and see what kind of responses you get. If the quality isn't what you were looking for, go up from there.

For 2 kids I charge $25/hr right now. And I won't do any household tasks beyond what we immediately use (i.e. I will not do a pile of the children laundry, but I might pre-treat a stain and toss it in the wash if it happened while I was with them. Also I won't do a sink full of dishes but I will wash or load the dishes we used at meal time.)

So $25 per hour gets you a pretty pretty princess nanny who does nothing child related that she considers extra or hard work. Take note OP.

Ridiculous

Assuming a 40 hour week, That's more than the avg starting salary last year for teachers in the tristate area
