Nanny rates/nanny shares

[Anonymous]

What is the going rate for 1 infant? If the going rate is between 22-25$ an hour nannies why do you continuously accept positions for shares at 22-25$? You can easily make that with one. Please stop charging a single child rate for a share. Parents please stop trying to normalize splitting a nanny’s rate into half. That’s not how shares are supposed to work.

1 infant $22-25
Nanny share $25-30

Huh? There is no “going rate”. There is a range depending on the nanny’s education, experience, skills, as well as (often) English reading proficiency.

And who in their right mind would ever take the same rate for two infants in a share as they would for one infant?

The industry standard is that a shared nanny gives each family a 2/3-3/4 discount on her single family rate. More and more nannies are becoming aware of this.

If a nanny charges $24/hour for one child from a single family, then each share family will pay $16-18 per hour.

God, I would never do a share. I thought the nannies earned more than that.

Exactly!

I don't know exactly how much a share adds - probably varies from nanny to nanny and situation to situation, though obviously yes, it would be more than caring for one baby, and probably more than caring for two babies in the same family.

However, I do find, that as usual, this thread is vastly overestimating the rates that people pay for nannies. I'm now in my second infant nanny share (first fell apart due to some covid logistics) and in both cases, we paid $24 per hour, $12 per family, and this was in downtown DC with a very experienced nanny.

And this proves my point. You can easily get 22-25$ for 1 infant. Why do double the work for 24$?

PP here, and I reject your premise. I don't believe you can "easily" get a job for $25 per hour caring for one infant.

Yes you can
I started last year at $25 per hour three months old
My friend just today got a position five months old baby
$25 per hour

The real world is 25-40% less than the nannies of dcum.

You absolutely can with the right credentials - and this was precovid, three years ago.

You know, I wish that were true but it isn’t. However the foreign nannies, with little to no education and limited English, don’t post here. My experience looking for an American nanny with some college, their quotes were in line with the nannies who post here.

Your own language skills are less than stellar so I'm guessing you're either a nanny or being taken for a ride.

Same experience, $24 and we have a wonderful nanny.
