[quote=Anonymous]Desperate immigrant?  $20 per hour.  Educated, experienced USA or European (non-desperate) nanny?   $30.

My cousin is the latter and works in San Diego/La Jolla, where rates apparently are higher than the cheapos here in the DC area.  She just went from $32 for 2 kids to $35 for 3 (newborn). Preps and feeds and cleans up after the kid meals.  Absolutely no  other housework; that is  the housekeepers' or parents' responsibility.  Cousin loves to cook, anyways. Hours 8-4, no breaks --  which is fine as she would rather put the toddlers in the stroller and wear the baby and go out for a long walk more than anything else. She surfs most days after work and the long walks help keep her in shape; she even dropped her gym membership.

Family provides her a minivan  for driving the kids to doc appmnts, etc.

Cousin taught elementary school for 10 years, and has a masters in Reading (Reading Specialist).  She got burned out being a teacher, social worker, substitute parent.  She committed to 5 years of nannying, then will re-assess.

Very mutually satisfying for all parties. [/quote]
