[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the OP but came to this thread with the same question. We have one baby and an older child in school. A service I have spoken to says nannies are making $26-31 p/hr in this area. Is this truly the going rate for a nanny that is paid fully legally and works overtime (and thus getting time and a half for the overtime hours)? That would between $75,000 to over $100,000 for 50 hours p/week. I can hardly believe that nannies make more than most school teachers and nurses. That is more than lawyers in the government make when they start out. I guess I am just in disbelief and looking to hear from actual people who pay this much.

Exactly how do you get $100,000 for 50 hours?[/quote]

Ok my math was bad, at $31 an hour for 50 hours a week you'd be making over $88,000 - plus health insurance would get you pretty close to $100,000. Regardless, $88k is still more than most teachers, many nurses, and many lawyers starting out in government. That is true even at the bottom end of this range -- $26 p/hr for 50 hrs a week is over $74,000 plus health insurance. I just want to know if there are people actually paying this much because this is what the service has told me is the going rate and I guess I'm in a bit of disbelief. [/quote]
