Going rate for "summer nanny"?

[Anonymous]

Any input from this forum on the going weekly rate for a "summer" nanny? (usually a college student as opposed to a professional nanny).

OP here. Please revise -- I'm looking for a ballpark "Average" rate.

(Just saw the 5 page post on "going rate BS"-- my bad -- didn't know there was a difference.)

I would guess a college kid might be $15-20.

too many variables. How many kids? How many hours per day? How many days per week? Driving required? On the books or under the table?

We have one kid and pay $12 an hour to a HS student
This will be her 4th year sitting for us. Its only PT. My kid is really easy, i dont require driving, laundry, dinner ir cleaning up or anything. She lives in our neighborbood so no commute time. I dont need someone with a degree in early education to make slime with my kid or play uno.

How old is your kid?

"Full time" -- 9 hrs a day, 5 days a week, 2 older kids (8 and 12) who primarily need to be driven places, taken to the pool, etc.

Do you pay based on an hourly rate? Or is a weekly rate more common?

I would base it on an hourly rate and think you could find someone for $15-$18 an hour. You could pay weekly though and I would guarantee the hours. So 40 hours would be $600. I would pay this even if one week you don't need her on a certain day or you come home early sometimes.

$20/hour
