[quote=Anonymous]Where do you live? I am employeer and live in Arlington. We are in the process of getting a new nanny. In the past, I have always paid $15 for one kid and $17-18 for two kids. I also here about these people that have cheaper nannies. I don't know where or how they actually found them. I have been searching for a month on care.com, sittercity, and dcurban mom. I have interviewed face to face about 13 candidates. We are expecting a second child and I am concerned about the rate for two kids. I only found one nanny that even gave a rate lower than $20 for two kids. And, she has only worked in fairfax. So, maybe that is the going rate out further. Bottom line, we did like her however we found other candidates that had more experience and seemed like a better fit. I have been really worried about the cost, however I discussed my issue with our top choice. And, she was willing to negotiate down to $18 for two. Based on my experience, it must depend on where you live and how much experience you are looking for in a nanny. We don't have the space, but au pairs are definitely cheaper. However, they are often very young as well. I personally would be nervousness leaving a newborn with an 18 year old au pair. But, that is just me. A lot of people do it and are completely fine.
