[quote=Anonymous]Starting rate for a nanny is generally $13-17 for one child, $15-18 for two.  We found a number of good candidates looking for $15 per hour for one child.  Most of them had between 0 and 3 years experience as a full time nanny plus many years of part time or seasonal experience with kids before that.  Several at the $15 price point were recent college grads.

Note that the rates above are average hourly rates, not base rates.  So, if your nanny works 50 hours a week at $15 per hour, she would earn $750 gross per week.  To address the FLSA ot requirements, be sure to have a written contract that specifies that $15 is the average hourly rate, and also specifies the guaranteed weekly dollar amount (here, $750) and number of hours to be worked each week in consideration for that weekly pay (here, 50).  Then use a calculator like the ones you can find at gtm to back out the base and OT rates.  Put the base and ot rates in your contract to protect yourself.  In this example, the base rate would be $13.64, the ot rate would be $20.46, and any hours beyond the 50 you guarantee would be paid at $20.46.[/quote]
