Exactly. Not all nannies earn 30-35, but some certainly do. So why would the best nannies settle for WH average rates?

Nannies do make 35/hr... outside DC! I’m in LA and I make $35/hr. if you go on the tip nanny agency websites they list salaries. Westside nannies for ex lists salaries as $20-30/hr for full time and $25-30 for part time. Enough with your nonsense, op.

Some Washington area nannies also earn $35+ an hour, but NOT if they use the WH agency.

This point has been beaten to death. Just because I charge 160.00 per hour and my co-worker charges 500.00 an hour doesn't mean he is 3x better than I am. We charge what we can get away with. We price-guage (as lawyers) just like you do as nannies.

Mostly probably word-of-mouth. I doubt agencies in the DC area know how to represent elite professional nannies.

Go through them.

I make the same as you and I found my job through them. I never found them to be stuck up. In fact, they helped me work through a difficult situation during my transition from one family to another.

Don't they "encourage" their best nannies to stick to $22/hr at the most?

They told me the range that “most” nannies get but also said that the negotiation of salary and benefits were between the family and me. Why would they encourage you to stick to that range (especially the lower end) when they make their money off of commission based on your salary? I obviously can’t speak for others but I personally enjoyed working with them and found a job within a decent timeframe.

I can only imagine they "encourage" their "creme de la creme" nannies to stick to that range so they can convince their potential clients that their nannies are totally "affordable"!

The question we should all be asking is:
If the "salary negotiation is between the family and the nanny", why are they "encouraging" a price range in the first place?

What does everyone think about this?
Something smells fishy about how they operate.
Actually, they sound outright dishonest. Sorry.

The above poster is TOTALLY correct. WH is out to swindle you.

There are many elite professional nannies that don't charge some of these absurd prices. 35.00 an hour! WOW. I am in DC and have an absolute amazing nanny, and I pay significantly less. She reads to our child, has a college education, and our 6 month old loves her.

She isn’t elite. She’s just a good professional nanny. Learn the difference.

True story. I babysat with White House Nannies in college in DC. It was the late 90s = 20 years ago. I made $13-15/hr then. It was occasional babysitting, evenings/weekends/etc. I would never use them. They sent me on so many jobs that I was not qualified for. It was a complete disaster and their fees were a total racket for the families.

They are worse now.

White House is unkind to nannies. If you make more than what they are placing nannies at they blow you off.
