[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think the going rate for a nanny share is the same as for two kids of the same family? For example, my friend is in a nanny share with her 2 year old and a neighbor’s 3 year old. They pay a total of $40/hour. Is that what I would expect to pay if hiring a nanny for my two kids (3 and 1)?[/quote] A lot depends on the number of hours, whether there are special needs or housekeeping, etc. When a nanny has to navigate two sets of adults instead of one, the price is somewhat higher to compensate. Please keep in mind that minimum wage in DC is $15; do you really want anyone who might choose to go work fast food to decide that they'll apply for your position, or do you want someone experienced and/or educated, someone who know what to do and loves children? MD rates are a bit lower, and VA rates can be significantly lower the further out from DC the position might be.[/quote]
