$15

We live in Silver Spring and people pay $10-15 for one child and $15-18 for 2 kids. If one of the kids is part-time, just end up somewhere in between. Yes, it needs to be hourly officially, but you can offer a weekly rate that works for both of you and then work backwards.

I have friends paying $500-750 a week, all the nannies seem happy (as evidenced by them remaining with their employers for extended periods of time) and switching to new employers in the neighborhood at the same rates.

Thx and taxes come out of the 15 right?

It also depends on the experience of the nanny and the maturity you are looking for. I would have gladly accepted $15 when I was younger, but as a qualified adult with a car payment and morgage I will only accept a living wage.

Yes. Some people gross up the pay so the nanny's take home is $15/hr and some let the taxes come out of her check directly.

My amazing (legal/US citizen) nanny with 20+ years of experience happily makes $600 a week in a nanny share situation for 40 hours. She has a spouses with whom she shares expenses.

600$ per family in the share or 300$ from each family totaling 600$

Good that she has someone to support her.

For one child, perhaps $15/HR.
Then when she watches your preschooler I would pay her $17-18/HR.

Rates also depend of the area and experience. Where are you located?

How do you support yourself on $15/HR?

What area do you and your nanny live in where a share equals out to 15$ an hour? It must not be DC area.. I make 1000$ weekly in my share and still feel underpaid. I can't imagine living off 600$ a week to care for 2 children, unless it's a rural area where nannys aren't common.

FWIW, we are hiring right now for a newborn and plan to offer $20/HR. We are paying legally though and only need 32 hrs a week, so we do need to offer a rate that is higher than some of those quoted above.
