[quote=Anonymous]Nanny rates seem to be sky high thanks to Covid--I'm talking to a lot of people who want/expect $25/hr+, and we have just one kid. But we just interviewed someone who seemed great and quoted us $20/hr--the catch is she would be bringing along her baby, who's about the same age as ours.

Can anyone who has done this share what they paid? $20/hr seems fair from the perspective that she deserves a living wage, but it's also still substantially more expensive than most of the nanny share arrangements I've heard of, which seem to be more like $13/hr. This seems to have a lot of the downsides of a nanny share, but only some of the cost savings. Still, a big plus would be less potential covid exposure, since we're not adding a third set of grown-ups into the mix.

It's our first time looking for a nanny (#thanksCovid) and we'd budgeted for daycare, not private care--I want to be fair but also realistic, and I don't know anyone who's worked with a nanny who's also a new mom with her kid.
