[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you? $14.25 is low for DC area. Do a search. [/quote] +1. If you are far out, or in the "poorer" areas of town, or paying under the table, or hiring someone illegal, you may be ok. Otherwise, $15/hr is really absolute minimum for a grown-up to watch one child, and then you'll need to screen very, very carefully.[/quote] Also, if you are paying legally/on the books, add another 10-12% for taxes, unemployment insurance, and worker's comp. In general, if you are struggling to afford the base salary for your nanny, you are not going to like being nanny employers. You're going to find a lot of unexpected expenses as the year goes on.[/quote]
