| I watch 3 kids similar in age. I’m in the Midwest and make $30 hour on the books. I have the 2 oldest at school from 8-3. |

| I get $38 hourly/40 hours guaranteed in Old town Alexandria. I don’t charge by the number of kids but I’m a seasoned and career nanny with BA in child development and won’t take anything less than $35 as alloparenting and nannying is a LOT of work. |

$25-$35 an hour
Rate will vary based on experience, age, fluent in English, legal, CPR certified, education. I was more concerned with safety and level of interaction than I was if someone had a degree. You don’t need a degree to play dinosaurs with my kid |

| Thanks all! We have a current wonderful nanny for our two and are adding a third so was trying to sort out what the going rate is so we can match. |

Just curious PP….. How did you arrive at this number? - Not the OP |

| 6 month old (my rate would be about $30 per hr for 1 kid), and managing a toddler and a baby, plus pick up with all kids in a tow, is only for a pro. Even if you do not pick up with baby and a toddler in a tow, this is a job for either 2 people or 1 super nanny, thus $42 |

| How much is she currently making for 2? If you’re already underpaying which you probably are then 2-3$ should be acceptable |

| Are nannies paid cash? Do you give them a 1099? |

| We live outside of NYC and have an almost 6 year old (K) in school 7:45-2:50; a 3 year old who is in school 8-11:30 5x/week (going from 8-12 next year); and a 17 month old not in school (but will be in preschool 2x/week for 3.5 hours on those days starting next fall). We pay $30/hour and are going up to $31 in January. We also give a lot of vacation/sick time. |
