Cost of Nanny for 2 kids

[Anonymous]

What is the average rate of a nanny for two kids (same family)? The toddler will be in school for a half-day and the other is a newborn. Thanks!

I would ask for $20/h+. Especially if the nanny will have to pick up the oldest and drag along the infant that might interrupt naps. Also, what other benefits would you have to offer? What duties would be included?

20 to 30 an hour.

Do not ask on this forum or any forum. Best to set a rate you can afford and go from there. Also depends on where you live. LA/NYC type areas you can earn alot more.

I’m so sick of this question. Whenever someone replies there is someone saying they are lying or it’s too high of an hourly. Just put what you can afford and see if you find any candidates you like. If you don’t, raise hourly range.

W/out knowing what part of the country you live in, it is next to literally impossible to answer your question.

Do you live in Redding CA or San Francisco CA?

Right!

OP- just look at the arguments from this week alone on pricing. You can get an illegal, non-English speaking nanny for minimum wage and you can get a highly qualified, former preschool teacher for $30/hr. If you want a professional, qualified, experienced nanny, the bare minimum is $20/hr plus benefits. Do you honestly think the little bit of information you have will help us determine a fair wage for your nanny? Talk to an agency, not a group of nannies and mothers that are always arguing in what is earned and that is fair.
