[quote=Anonymous]OP, there's a huge range. IMO the info you get here is skewed as most nannies here are american, fairly well educated, sophisticated technology users. That isn't the typical nanny profile - so the actual range of what an hourly rate is varies HUGELY based on all kinds of factors - many already pointed out, as well as ethnicity, experience, age, background, driving status, citizenship status, ability to advocate effectively for oneself professionally, fluency, number of hours you're guaranteeing, your expectations for the position, etc... Try posting on neighborhood listservs - yours and those of anyone you know (ask them to post it for you). I've had my best luck w/ word of mouth referrals. My nanny wouldn't have any idea how to be active on DCUM and she's never found a position through an agency - all family to family referrals. She came to us from a neighbor. Good luck![/quote]
