[quote=Anonymous]I do not live in DC or the surrounding area. I live in Los Angeles (west side) where the going rate for a nanny is generally $15 to $20 an hour. My rate is between $20 and $25 for one child with no housework beyond what is involved in the care of the child. Yes, I have not been given job offers because I am more than what the parents want or can afford. That said, I am currently in a position where I accepted $18 an hour because the job is two blocks away from my apartment (if you have ever been to LA you know how horrible the traffic is) and because this job was 40 hours a week, four days a week which gives me Monday's off. Both of these things were ideal for me - zero commute and a weekday off. So my advice to all potential employers is to decide what you want and what you can afford - and then do not be afraid to look at more expensive nannies as you may have something to offer them beyond straight hourly salary.
