[quote=Anonymous]I've never (since 2008) made less than $20/hr + benefits for twins. I don't usually work more than 45 hours though- so also less OT.

Don't know any good qualified nannies making less than $17/gross (and they usually have 10+ hours of OT)

The actual going rate though really will vary wildly and really comes down to what the candidates you interview and like give as their range. For some families their standards might get them a nanny they find good for $13-15. For others it may be $20-22. It all depends on a lot of factors but most especially how picky you are and how far in the future you are thinking. A lot of the $13-15/hr nannies end up replaced after a year or less when the babies are past the eat/sleep/poop stage and are clearly not keeping up with peers/bored/etc.

Think ahead. Can the nanny educate your toddler? Handle two active children in public spaces with ease? Drive then where they need to go? Have good English skills to communicate with you about finer details then eating and sleeping and dirty diapers? Have a good grasp on child development and what your children should be doing and when?  [/quote]
