Fair rate for nanny for three kids

[Anonymous]

What is a fair rate for a nanny caring for two kids. First two are in school from 8-3PM and third will be newborn. We are in DC.

$30?

I get $32 and started at $30 2 years ago.

OP here. How old are the kids? How long have you been working for the family?

If the nanny is responsible for the older ones on sick days and teacher work days etc I would definitely say $30+

$30-35

Yours paying the Nanny to be available to all 3 correct? So you pay for this. This gives you peace of mind for sick days, snow days, random day off days, half days etc… you get the jist.

$30 for three?! Nannies are getting that much for one child. $35-$40.

$32 is good

OP here, to PP are you joking? or serious?

$25 to start then if they’re good and stay at least a few months, can increase to $26-$27, maybe $30 by year 2.
Especially since kids are in school, they mostly work with just 1 kid.

This rates are about 5 years outdated

$25 is a simple driving rate. Start pay at $30 if you actually want the kids to be taken care of, not treated as cargo.

How much experience does she have?

0-2 years: start at $20/hr
2-5 years: start at $25/hr
More than 5 years experience as a full time nanny: start at $30 hr

Adjust up if she has a degree in childhood dev, education, etc
