[quote=Anonymous]OP here - my first child will be 2 when the baby is born.  I do think we hired a very experienced nanny at a lower rate ($15) from what I've heard, mostly because she is a humble person who just doesn't demand a lot of money and probably because she had long-term relationships with previous families that likely didn't pay her a ton of money.  She loved them to death, but when I gave her a $1K bonus for Christmas she was shocked and said in her 20 years of being a nanny, no one has ever given her that much.

So I believe she could have been hired at $17/hour for one kid in Bethesda/similar areas to more well-to-do parents who were willing to pay that. For instance, one family who she knows has repeatedly tried to steal her away from us by offering her $17-18/hour fo rone kid (she is loyal and stayed with us).  Certainly many nannies who we interviewed asked for $16-18/hour for one child when we hired her.

But yes I am concerned about salary ceilings.  We want to retain her long-term but don't want to outbid ourselves, especially since she is not a demanding person.  We aren't wealthy, so we can't be getting into $19/hour when we both work 50 hours a week. [/quote]
