Nanny rates in Arlington?

[Anonymous]

Hi there- moving to the Arlington area and wondering what is the appropriate range for an experienced nanny on the books, 45hrs per week (so 5 hrs OT at 1.5x pay) for one toddler? Is it different for an infant? And then how much more is generally appropriate for adding another child?

Thank you!!

I think Nannies in that area generally make about $20-22/Hour in Arlington, VA.

Not sure how much for an add'l child however.

$17-20/hr

we pay out nanny $21 for two children.. but I'm sure you can find a nanny for $20-$22 for two children

According to a poll taken by MONA, the average hourly wage for one child is $16 per hour, before taxes. Overtime must be paid at 1.5x, of course.

We also pay $21/hr for two children.

We pay around $18/hr for two children because we pay for over 50 hours a week, all on the books. If the standard hourly rate is $20-21 for 40 hours, from there you can figure out a standard weekly rate, and then back out your rate based on the hours you'll be paying per week. I found that approach more useful in trying to decide what to offer. However, you may have to explain this carefully to prospective employees as many compare themselves based on the hourly rate alone.

Any evidence, or just here say? You can't live on that here, unless you sleep on someone's couch.

It's a published poll, nanny.

At 50 hours per week, you're looking at a salary of $45,760, not including bonuses and other benefits. Lots of federal employees here get paid less than that.

You can check the average salary for any profession at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here is the link for childcare workers:

Scroll down for DC rates. The rates for my profession are accurate, as far s my experience goes.

The quality of care that an experienced nanny provides has little in common than your average daycare worker. That's why private nanny care is typically considered the most elite (and expensive!) childcare option.

This average rate published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for childcare workers is not exclusively for daycare workers.

According to the description, the average rate is for individuals who "Attend to children at schools, businesses, PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS, and childcare institutions. Perform a variety of tasks, such as dressing, feeding, bathing, and overseeing play. Excludes 'Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education' (25-2011) and 'Teacher Assistants' (25-9041)."

How exactly are they including (or excluding) the "elite" professional nannies?

Do the ask IRS what "household employers" are reporting?

Yes. That is the whole point of this exercise.
