How much does a Nanny Cost?

[Anonymous]

Hello - My wife and I are expecting our first child next year. We live in AU park and both work full time. We're trying to figure out childcare and I'm wondering - how much does hiring a nanny cost? I don't really have any idea...

about $4000 a month or for a share $2000, depending on the hours. This is for full time 50 hours a week around $18/hr. You can pay taxes quarterly, however. So your monthly would go down but you will need to pay the taxes four times a year. Check out GTM payroll services nanny tax calculator.

OP, please, please do a search here on "nanny cost" and "nanny rate".

Hourly wages range from minimum wage to $25-30/hour depending on who you want.

Speaking from extensive experience, I do not recommend share arrangements for infants. However, many families opt for that in lieu of daycare because of price.

Also, share arrangements are illegal in Montgomery, Arlington and Fairfax counties. Not sure about other areas.

Illegal without a permit. Not illegal.

Duh, you aren't so smart, are you, my dear?
Thing is, who gets the permit, the nanny or the parent?
The nanny has to live-in to qualify as a resident of the home, and all the adults in the home need to get background checked. And yes, the place must be child proofed, and checked by various inspectors.

Op ignore all the chatter. This site gets off base. Do a search but rates are $15-20/hour. Plus taxes. Use GTM or homepay for assistance. Share arrangements are not illegal.

According to Fairfax, a nanny can get a permit for a day home as long as one child lives in that home. However, yes, you are then subject to planned and unplanned inspections, and all the rigmarole that comes with running an in-home daycare. No thanks. I have no intention of getting in trouble for not having a permit, so I won't do shares in Fairfax.

Ranges are $15-20 an hour. Anyone who says they are higher is inflating wages.

Thanks for all the responses (I'm the OP).

Because you'll shoot any parent who chooses to pay a certain nanny a higher rate, just because they can afford the best and you can't. Darn.
