Question about fair pay

[Anonymous]

What would be an appropriate hourly wage for this job description?

I live in Potomac, Md.
Looking for part-time nanny to start in Oct 2025. Care for one 6-week old child. Driving would be a great asset. English speaking. CPR/first aid certification. Up to 2 Years of experience. Hours 7am to 4pm weekdays. Lite housework when baby is sleeping.

$25-30hr depends on experience

First of all, that’s not part time. That comes out to 45 hours a week. I would say at least $25 hour.

2 yrs experience is nothing, look for at least 5

For a newborn you should be paying $30. And that is full time so you should expect to pay benefits as well.

You'll want to be extremely clear and explicit on what you want with "light housework."
Make sure you are allowing the nanny to have a break during the naptime, as it's probably the only break she will get all day.

$30-40 an hour plus mileage or provide a car.

I second this.
But yes make sure you + your prospective Nanny agree 100% on what household duties she will be expected to complete.
