Nanny share rates

[Anonymous]

Trying to get some information on nanny share rates I tried searching but can't seem to find anything. The share would be for 2 infants Eastern Market area. Currently in the interview stage and am being quoted rates of 30$ per hour...it just seems so high

$30 seems like a lot to me too. I've seen more $25/hour (split between the families) as the max.

How old are the babies?

Different nannies have different rates based on their experience and qualifications, including stellar references. You can likely get a qualified candidate for @ $25/hr, but many can make that with one family and is is more of a burden to deal with two families, obviously. But if you have great benefits, you can likely find someone cheaper.

I’m a nanny in Eastern Market and when I started my share with 2 infants 6 & 7 months I was making $25.

How many hours a week? How many PTO days? Health insurance? You have to factor all that in. So be willing to pay anywhere between $500-700 per family; on the higher in with no real benefits.

The better nannies will tell their rates and expected benefits. There's usually a big difference between a professional nanny and regular babysitters.

We are in a share in NE DC. We pay our nanny $22/hour for 2 kids who arecurrently 21 months and 1 years old (but we've been in a share since the oldest was 8 months and the youngest was 6 months - had another family in our share previously. Our nanny gets 40 hours guareentedfrom from each family. We are on an extra 10 hours of overtime each week. Benefits include all federal holidays off, 5 sick days, and 12 vacation days (5 chosen by the two families, 7 chosen by the nanny).

We have friends in the area who pay their nanny 26 for two kids and 17 for one. Their nanny has been with them for 4 years or so and has gotten raises each year ($1 I think).

Currently making $24/hr plus guaranteed overtime in NW, I started this year. I rejected several offers that were lower, even ones that said they would guarantee a raise later. The lowest I would take for a share is $24/hr. Anything lower would’ve been temp until I found something better.

I don’t think $30/hr is high for a share, that’s $15 per family. That’s what some ppl try to pay for one child, which is actually low in my opinion. Why do you think it’s high?

Our nanny for our share with one toddler and one infant pays $27 per hour. Our nanny has 30 years of experience.

We pay $25/two-child share. Nanny said that we would have a third child for a couple months and that our shares would be cheaper for this limited period. Then when we tried discuss cheaper fee for limited period, she insisted that all families should pay her 12.5/hour during the time when she had the third kid, which never agreed to do and feels unfair. Our contract has both families sign and lays out two equal shares of $12.50 and we didn't think to do an addendum.

I'd just tell her no go on the third child. If she really wants a third child in the mix, it should be more like $10/hour if the two-child hourly rate is $25.

If you are in DC and paying your nanny less than 13.25 per family then you are violating DC minimum wage law an employer should pay ( cruel to pay a nanny at or below minimum wage IMHO). You being in a share does not mean you play by different standards since it's individual employers. It's consider a share because the nanny watches the kids together however pay and benefits are divided equally per employer.

The IRS treats nannyshare families as joint employers, not as individual employers. So you must pay at least $13.25 combined, not $13.25 per family.
