[quote=Anonymous]Look at other threads in this forum.  There are numerous factors:

If you WAH or SAH, you will pay more, and it will be harder to find someone.
Ages of children can play a role.
The more hours, the lower the hourly rate needs to be.
Full time hours (35-55) are the most stable positions; there is higher turnover both under 35 and over 55 hours.
The more cleaning you require, the higher you should expect to pay.
If you have a set schedule and don't expect to deviate from it most of the time, you'll have less turnover and you should be able to pay less than a fluctuating schedule.
The more experience you require, the more you should expect to pay.
The more education you require, the more you should expect to pay.
Off the books can frequently be a few dollars cheaper per hour than on the books, as the nanny is taking home more.
Requiring proof of legal ability to work here may eliminate some of the cheapest options for nannies, but it's not likely to change the rest of the range.
Location can raise your rate, especially if there's no parking and the nearest metro is not close.
Any special requests (no driving kids and nothing is walkable; no discipline; specialty cooking) can raise the rate.
Special needs always raises the rate.

Without knowing the specifics of your position and what you require from the nanny, nobody can give you an accurate gauge of what you should be offering.[/quote]
