[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have  3 soon to be  4 children ages 3, 2, 1 , and newborn.
The nanny we want is a former preschool teacher with  3 years nanny experience including newborns.
She is college educated, but degree is not in education.
No special skill such as second language.
She has said she only does kid laundry and tidying after kids during day.
We  would like her 4 days a week from 8 to 7.  
No weekends
All standard benefits.
We were thinking $20 to $24 an hour. Reasonable?[/quote]

We live in McLean and have almost the same family makeup as OP. We have a 4 year old, two 2 year old twins, and the baby who is 3 months old. We hired a new nanny when our twins were born and she has stayed with us, so it's been about 2.5 years now. We pay $17 an hour and she is great. I'm not home to watch her to say exactly what she does or how often, but she keeps the house really clean which is the most important thing to me.

So if your nanny is basically saying she will let your house get trashed and wants $24 an hour you are a fool. If you like her, I'd start with $17 or less (leave room for bonuses.) You could also hold out for someone more reasonable and more likely better. Good luck.[/quote]
