[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in the DC area, a more experienced, CPR-certified nanny for one child will be probably $15 (less experienced) - $20 (more experienced) an hour. You can probably find someone good in between. Taxes, worker's comp, and covering their paid time off will cost another 10-15% of total salary.

A nanny share is usually $18-$22/hr, split between the two families. Much more affordable, but comes with its own headaches.

In my experience, it is very, very difficult to find a highly-qualified, professional nanny for part time work who will truly commit to you. They want full time work. We went through a lot of mediocre part time nannies for one reason or another. If they're doing part time, it's usually because of some temporary circumstance in their lives that makes it attractive. An exception might be a nanny with children if you can swing school hours.

A nanny share would not only bring down your hourly cost, but possibly allow you to hire someone full time or close to it between the two families (you or the other family would pay more for any solo hours).[/quote]
You had a hard time finding a good PT nanny because your $22/hr was too low. It should have been $25-30/hr. That's my PT or FT range.[/quote]
