[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most nannies with significant experience are earning more like $35-45hr. Then you factor in that most nannies work OT and they're making 1.5x their rate there. It's common for nannies to be making $90k+ per year which is fair imo[/quote]

This is a blatant lie that just keeps resurfacing on DCUM. We pay our nanny, in a share, $32 an hour, and that's on the higher end for my neighborhood. $28-$32 is the range for a share, $25-$30 for a single family. And that's in downtown DC (ie - a very high cost of living) and on the books.

A nanny making over $40 an hour is incredibly, incredibly rare, as is a nanny taking home $90k a year. I don't know if this is wishful thinking, or someone who only knows millionaires, or nannies trying to drive up the market, or daycares trying to make the nanny market seem impossible, but it's just straight up not true.

Respectfully, I facilitate over 250 nanny placements per year and basically eat, sleep, and breathe the market for the last decade. Here is some data from 3 years ago. https://gtm.com/household/ina-salary-and-benefits-survey/

Even in your own example paying $32hr. An average nanny works 45 hours per week. $32 x 40 = $1280 plus $48 x 5 equals $1520 per week x 52 is $80k per year. Add in some combo of additional hours as-needed, holiday bonus, monthly health insurance stipend, mileage reimbursement, etc and $90k isn't a stretch.
