[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]My budget is around $30,000/ year and I'd be looking for someone for 4 days/week. I have 2 kids (4 months and 22 months) and live in Northern Virginia. I'm just wondering if it's even an option for me. Thanks![/quote] If 30K needs to cover both nanny wages and your share of nanny taxes and such, your true nanny wage budget is 27K or so. Nanny taxes add about 10% to the nanny's wages. So, just to make the math easier, 26K per year = $500/week for 36 hours = $13.88/hour. You'd likely be able to find someone with less than 3-5 years of nanny experience for this much money. My concern would be whether the person you hire would be able to live fairly well on 26K a year in your area.[/quote]
