[quote=Anonymous]We pay in our nanny share 9.50 per family per hour ($19/hr total).  Our total expenses including taxes, bonus, transportation stipend, insurance contribution, fees associated with a payroll service, workers comp insurance is around 25k/year for our family alone.

Here are some additional expenses besides the hourly rate to think about (not all are necessary of course!):

- Raises (we did ours at the 6 month mark and the 18 month mark), anywhere from 50cent to a dollar each time is about right
- Bonuses (we do it at Christmas and the anniversary of her start date)
- Monthly health care contribution (note that this is not considered income for the nanny so you don't have to pay taxes on it)
- Monthly transportation stipend
- Fees associated with a payroll service; we use Breedlove. I highly recommend them
- Workers comp insurance, if you are hosting the share

Hope this helps!  A nanny share isn't inexpensive, but it allows us to retain a great nanny that we wouldn't otherwise be able to afford on our own.  It's also been a wonderful experience for our little girl.
