[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have space for a live-in OP? I'm doing the math and to stay under $30k for the year after factoring in taxes, you're looking at an hourly rate of $14-$15/hour which is a decent rate for 2 kids in northern VA, but you have no room for raises if you plan on having a long term nanny. [/quote] This is really helpful. Thank you. We technically have space for a live-in (extra bedroom and bathroom) but we're pretty private people so wouldn't want to share our kitchen/ living areas. We're thinking we'd only want a nanny for about 2 years and then we'd send the kids to preschool. So maybe starting the nanny at $14/hour and then a raise to $15/hour after a year?[/quote] If you are not providing the nanny with a kitchen than it's best you not have a live-in.[/quote] Also 14 is VERY LOW, unless you are hiring a High Schooler with no experience.
