| What’s the going rate for a nanny in DC? My husband seems to think he can find a quality person for $18/hour. I think it’s closer to $24-$25. I found someone who seems great for our 3 month old and my husband wants to pass because he’s convinced he can find quality for $18/hr. |

| Market rate is $25 for 1 child. The aim is to keep your child well cared for and the nanny happy. You normally get what you paid for. |

This is such a loaded question.
You can find someone at nearly any rate. But trust & believe that your $18 an hour nanny will ditch your family when they find someone who will pay more. |

| Sorry to tell you. But no one is accepting $18 per hour. Mainly with a newborn. This is lots of work and responsibility. If your husband wants to pay that low rate; better stick in a day care. |

| You get what you pay for. You can find someone with not much experience for that cost. Go with daycare. A nanny is a luxury not everyone can afford and that’s ok . |

| Op, not to shock you but the going rate is solidly $25-30hr and very competitive with most nannies receiving multiple job offers. |

I'd consider my nanny career a fairly average trajectory. First job I had a bachelors degree in psychology and babysitting experience. Now I have 10 years nanny experience as well.

This post was started by a nanny clearly and answered by the same group of nannies. $18 is clearly too low and that's why apparently a loaded question was added.
Misplacing this under the find a nanny tab also shows your intentions. Previous poster seems accurate, the going rate for a nanny with a relevant Bachelor's degree and 10 years of experience is $30, same nanny with no experience around $25. You can calculate based on that what you're looking for and what salary would be appropriate. A non educated nanny with little experience would be around $20-$22. |
