Hi,
I am a single mom-to-be, due in mid-February. I am looking for a full time nanny for when I return to work in May. I would like her to start a month before I return (March or April), so that I can work with her and we are all on the same page. I am looking for a fully vaccinated nanny (including booster). I am willing to negotiate pay (don't even know what the right price is). Does anyone know of any available nannies? I live in Mclean, VA. Thanks so much, RG |

Hi! I'm happy to help you run through the costs because some are "hidden" upfront.
-The going hourly rate for career nannies is $20-30hr with most candidates within the $22-26hr range. -Nannies must be paid 1.5x overtime for all hours worked above 40 hours in one week -You can anticipate paying approx 10% of the nanny's gross annual income in domestic employer taxes -A workers compensation policy is required in DC and MD (though also highly recommend getting one if you live elsewhere) and that costs about $700-800 per year. -If you will be using a tax and payroll service, that is about $600-700 per year depending on which you use. -If nanny uses her personal vehicle for work, they should be reimbursed at the current federal mileage reimbursement rate. I hope that helps and congrats on your pending little one! |

One month working with you around is crazy.
I would never accept a position like this. One week is enough. |

All of the following will impact pay:
-How many hours per day/per week do you need? -Do you need someone able to drive? (down the road, as your child gets older, this may be more important to you). -What do you plan to offer in terms of PTO? (norm is 2 weeks of paid vacation, one week of your choosing, one week of theirs, at least 5 sick/personal days) -Will you offer paid federal holidays off? Most experienced nannies won't need a full month of overlap, but if it makes you less anxious as a first time mom, a good nanny will understand. |

Not always true. I thought I’d hate having my employers at home but after nearly two years of covid office closures, it’s been great. It totally depends on the personalities of the employers. |

You do understand many parents are working from home right? Good luck finding a job |
