[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many nannies who make  $18-20/hr for ONE child. For a qualified nanny to take on a two infant share in Arlington you are looking at $20/hr ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. $22-24/hr will yield better results. If that's too rich for your blood look into daycare.

Stop it. OP's rate is low, but she doesn't need to pay $22/hour to find someone good. There are plenty of shares offering in the $18-$20 range. OP simply needs to be competitive. I say this as a nanny with 5 years of share experience. I started out with no multiples experience and little nanny experience making $16/hour in a share. I stayed there for 4 months, gained some experience, and was offered another share position for $18/hour where I stayed for 3 years. OP if your goal is to find someone qualified and encourage them to stick around, $18-$20/hour will do it. At $16/hour you're going to have to lower your standards and expect it won't be long until they realize they are being underpaid.[/quote]
The above troll is not a nanny.[/quote]

Yes I am. I think you do us all a disservice when you quote inflated rates. You make someone like OP, who really does need to consider a higher rate, dismiss you because you come off as ridiculous. $18-$20 can attract a great nanny. Offering $22-$24 is going to attract every nanny in the area, and doesn't guarantee OP any higher quality than $18-20. $16/hour is only going to attract the inexperienced or the desperate. [/quote]
