[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what you're offering is reasonable, but if you continue to find that the candidates you like are asking for more, your expectations may be out of line with your offer. I have a degree in early childhood education, teaching and nanny experience, and I speak 3 languages. I would also not take less than $18/hour for your job, but that does not mean that you won't find someone. [/quote]

Thanks, PP. The nannies I'm looking at do have experience nannying but not degrees in early childhood development (or actually no degrees at all) or any teaching experience. So it sounds like $17 is pretty reasonable.

Another question  - if a nanny is currently making, say $18, with her current family but has been with them for several years, I would presume she earned a raise up to that amount and probably started a little lower (maybe $16/hr). So when she goes to a new family, does she always start where she left off ($18/hr), or would she start a bit lower with the new family and then get raises with that new family? Just wondering what is typical. [/quote]

I think it would depend on the experience or new skills she gained at her last position and how transferable to your position. If she, say, now has experience with multiples, cooking skills, learned a new language, can teach sign language, etc. it's not unreasonable that she would expect a higher starting salary than she earned previously. If your job is identical to her last and she has no new skills, then the same or close to it starting salary would be fine. [/quote]
