[quote=Anonymous]Another twin mom with a nanny here. I agree with the previous poster who said you'd be paying in the ballpark of $16-19/hr, plus time and a half for anything over 40 hours. The taxes are insane. We pay ~$11K in taxes each year in addition to the nanny's take-home pay. In addition to that, we also found out that most experienced nannies expect a week's salary as their annual bonus. This isn't required, but from our experience and some of our friend's experiences with nannies, this seems to be the norm. Having a nanny was invaluable for that first year. Our babies got individual care and attention in the comfort of our own home with their own cribs, etc. We didn't have to worry about packing up babies and driving them around crazy DC traffic. However, now that our twins are 20 months, we're starting to consider daycare mainly due to the financial burden of having a nanny. [/quote]
