[quote=Anonymous]1) I think it's reasonable that rate for one child would be less than the rate for multiple children.  It is also reasonable that the nanny would not want to take a pay cut. So it seems those candidates "demanding" to keep the same rate are just not a good match for your your needs.

2) you will get answers from $15 to $25 (or more, but those are outliers) depending on what kind of education and experience you require, specific location in the DC area, whether you require driving and a car,  level of English proficiency, and whether you are talking about pre-tax, net, or paying in cash with no taxes.

3) Gas reimbursement is a must (for miles driven in the job).  I also think you should offer some paid holidays or paid days off if you want someone who will approach the job like a professional position.  I have always paid on the books and yes, that eliminates a fair number of candidates. Some employers offer health insurance as well, though our nanny has gotten insurance through her spouse's plan and preferred to just accept a higher hourly rate.

4) Most people would agree that any child related task is included: child's laundry, cooking child's meals - that is, those meals to be eaten during the nanny's hours, and keeping play areas and kitchen as tidy as you found it.  I would not hire anyone who made a big deal about doing those basic tasks.
