[quote=Anonymous]OP the rates that you hear on this board are very inflated by nannies. Even with the inflation, the rates here are average not base rates. Not one single nanny ever reported her base rate to us, only her average rate. The more hours you offer the lower the average rate. You can find amazing live out nannies for $700 a week/50 hours. You should find live out great candidates for $750-$800.  There really is no reason to be paying $900 a week unless you want to throw money away.

For 60 hours, you may want to consider a live in nanny or a live out nanny who doesn't live far from you. If you are offering higher pay, you will get an avalanche of nannies vying for the job. The reality is that there are many more $500-$600 jobs out there than $700 jobs. You don't want someone with an hour commute each way on top of 12 hours who tells you she isn't burnt out because she wants the money. You'll end up with an unenergetic nanny running her own errands, napping and not doing a great job because she is tired but still wants the job and the money.

For a live in you are in the $600 -$660 pay range. [/quote]
