[quote=Anonymous]We need some pretty quick help on market comp for nannies in Northern Virginia (Clarendon).

We are currently in a nanny share with one nanny taking care of 2 boys who are 2.5 and 3 years old.  The current rate for the share is $18.50 / hour, 1.5x overtime, total weekly pre-tax comp works out to $1020.00 for the hours she is working.  We pay $220 per month toward health insurance.  On an annualized basis the comp works out to $53,040 pre-tax pay and $2,640 health insurance contribution.

We're looking for a nanny to take care of just one 3-year old from now through September when he goes to pre-school for full-time days.  At that point, we'd want to transition the nanny to working with your infant (due in May -- so will be 4 months old).  We'd expect 50 hours / week.  We have not traditionally asked our prior nannies to do housekeeping (other than child meal clean-up and washing bottles, etc.), pick-up / drop-off duty for children, or meal prep other than meals for the kids during the work day.  If the nanny wants an hourly arrangement we'd pay her an hourly rate for the first 40 hours and federally mandated 1.5x for all overtime hours.

Given the above, any feeback on current market rates for a 1 child situation would be appreciated.  We'd be interested to hear going hourly rates and/or annualized salary information if anyone is working on a salary basis.

We heard from one potential nanny that she charges $25/hour and wants health care benefits.  That seemed high to us.[/quote]
