[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We advertised a job for a nanny for $15 per hr and said taxes would be paid.  I have one child.  We found someone we like.  She said she wanted $15 an hr take home pay.  She has never worked for a family that paid legally.  Is $15 per hr fair with taxes for one kid?

I would assume if someone posted an hourly rate it was gross UNLESS stipulated otherwise.  Yes, many nannies work for cash or do not pay taxes, that can drive up the rates for those families who want/need to pay taxes and file w-2s. 
Yes, many DC area nannies are paid $15/hour gross. That means the family pays the nanny $15/hour and the government ~$1/hour and the nanny pays the government ~$1/hour. 
This rate also leaves room for raises, paying for driving, and a raise for additional kids down the road. Assuming the nanny is game for more than one kid, some are not and prefer to hop from single kid job to single kid job and not be longer term (4-6+ years with one family).[/quote]
