Dear community,
We are hiring an experienced, wonderful nanny for a nanny share in Mount Pleasant. We will pay everything on the books and we are planning to make a contribution towards health insurance. Our nanny will work 40 hours per week and she will look after two infants (3 months and 9 months). We live in Mt Pleasant and our nanny lives in Maryland. Can someone give me some insight as to what the going hourly rate is? We feel we're offering a good salary, but our nanny thinks its low and we want her to be happy. Many thanks for your openness on this topic! LA |

| I think each family pays 12.50/h and that's it. Let her take on her own health insurance cost. Of course all federal holidays paid, 2 weeks of paid vacation plus 5 days of paid sick leave. This is what I would offer. |

| I'd say 18-20$ an hour so each families is 9-10$ |

I would agree with most of the above - $25/hr is fair and competitive (so $12.50/hr per family.)
You could pay less if it were a full 50 hour position but at 40 hours a week I think $25 makes sense. |

Five years ago we paid $19/hr in upper NW DC for a legal, very experienced, loving nanny. My sense is you can get excellent care at the $18 - $22 range. Your best bet is to advertise the position, see the candidates that come in, and learn about their asking rates. You will see the trends very quickly. That's the only way to really know. |
