No one ever said that $30./hr. is an "average" rate, so for the 8:54 poster to make that claim, is blatantly wrong. She appears to be misleading us intentionally. If not, please clarify your remarks, 8:54.

I for one have quoted a 10-30+ /hr. range. Many Washington families have higher expectations for the caregivers they hope to hire, and can afford the higher than "average" associated costs.

In addition, we really have zero data to support any accurate market rate of a "nanny". We can't even agree on what a nanny is, and isn't.

If you want to use care.com as your resource (as someone here already has) for local market rates, maybe you ought to consider the fact that their quoted range starts at $5. per hour, which we all know is outright illegal.

Looks like the "$15/hr market rate nanny" is a grand myth well promoted by a couple of individuals on this board. From what I hear out in the real world, it's closer to $20-30/hr. for professional nannies in the Washington area.


You always go around pretending like $30/hr is a normal rate. We all know it's not. I don't know if you're a nanny but you'd have alot of difficulty finding jobs $25 - $30/hour. Take your grand myth somewhere else because you continue to make yourself look silly. Who in their right mind would pay someone $30 to watch their child? LMAO.

+1 -- 8:54 goes around these threads all the time with her $25/$30/hr claims. We all know it's not true and hopefully someday she comes back to reality.

How much you pay, depends on who you want.


Lots (but NOT most) parents in the Washington are can afford the 20 to 30 range for a professional nanny who is everything they want. Mostly, that means a well-established history of proven success.



I can afford $30/hour nannies but I'd never pay one that much. I didn't become successful being silly.

Offering 25-30/hr. (or more) is wise only if you can't find what you want for cheaper. Not all parents are like you.

$30/hour? LMAOOOO. Now that's a delusional myth that is VERY rare. If this was the case then most people would skip college and go strait into nannying.


My guess is that the $30/hr nannies all went to college. Everyone I know who makes $22/hr or more has at least a B.A./B.S. (Please note that I live in Boston, which is a slightly different market than DC. I'd imagine that a $30/hr nanny is rare in any location and likely has some special skills and/or education.)

I know some $25 nannies without degrees. Some parents want whatever special experience they have.

I imagine a pediatrician would rather hire a nanny who was well-educated about early childhood development.

They'd pay what it cost because they understand it'll be much more expensive later, if they don't.

I imagine you're wrong. Pediatricians know that a degree in early childhood development is basically a joke.

You're a pediatrician who doesn't know how to read? I doubt it. No one said anything about a degree in early childhood development.

I'm guessing you know plenty of caregivers getting paid less than that. Are they all live-ins? Otherwise they need roommates or boyfriends/husbands. How do they manage to support themselves?
