[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think paying 75% when your child has less than 50% of her attention (maternal instinct is a hard thing to shake), is not right. I've always thought (and many here agree) that paying 50-60% of normal rate is fair. In the DC area a normal nanny rate for one infant is $16-20/hr so you're looking at about $8-10/hr.[/quote]

I'm the MB who said 75%.  I think that it's a bit different than a true share situation.  The nanny only has one boss, the care will always happen in my home, etc...  I would expect to be able to be more specific and directive about the schedule, activities, diet, etc... in this situation than I would be in a share.  I also would just never feel right paying $8-10/hr for full-time care in my home.

But if I find a terrific, qualified, nanny that I really like, who wants to bring her own child but whom I feel I can trust to still provide excellent care for my baby, then it could be a win win.  I'd be thrilled to find someone I could so easily afford (and easily afford to keep for several years while offering raises).[/quote]
