[quote=Anonymous]OP if you found a nanny that you and your share partner really like and money really isn't an issue for either of you then $20 an hour average is fine. However,you really are paying at the high end of market. This nanny had better be beyond amazing, have a college degree, 20 years of experience, drives, fluent in 2 languages, super organized, and willing to do things beyond hang out at the library. Nanny shares are around $16-$18 average per hour or around $800-$900 a week for 50 hours a week. I know several people with really good nannies in a share where the total amount is $700-$750 a week for 50 hours.

The nannies on this board will AWAYS post super high rates that they themselves can not find in the DC area. This doesn't mean no one is ever paying this much but honestly its rare and end up happening more in situations where the salary was a little too high in the beginning and escalated from yearly raises and additional kids. Nanny candidates will also ask for a rate a few dollars higher than what they are truly expecting or willing to accept. We had a few candidates ask for higher rates and we politely declined. Each one came back immediately and said they would accept the lower rate.

If you want to pay more by all means do so but please don't believe that this is the true market. [/quote]
