[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My current nanny family is moving in 2 months and I'm having trouble finding another job that pays me what I currently make. I've been with them for 3 years and currently make $25/hr for one child with the standard 2 weeks vacation and fed holidays. I have about 10 years experience, 6 years as an aupair and 4 years nannying. Is my hourly rate too high? Every job I interview for the rate is around $18 for one child and $19/$20 for two children. I found a few in the $25.00 and up range but the parents were looking for nannies with some sort of formal education. Would signing up for a nanny agency help? I'm in the NOVA suburbs, but willing to travel so I don't think my location is an issue. Any advice nannies/parents? Thanks in advance![/quote]

No college, OP?  It is hard to justify paying you $25 an hour when the parents can get a college graduate with teaching experience for $25 to $30 an hour.  [/quote]
I earn more than that without a degree. Some parents care more about the stellar references you may have earned during those college years. Different people can have different priorities.[/quote]
