[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the $18-22 range you'll probably need at least a college degree, 5+ years experience, and to present yourself well. Tutoring experience, knowing a musical instrument, and/or being skilled in sports or arts also helps.[/quote]
I have about half of those things and am at 25/hr dc area. It really depends on what the parents want and can afford.[/quote]

OKAY.

All of you people posting saying "half that"... I listed three things she should have: a college education, 5 years or more of experience (note: I did not say FT experience. babysitting, tutoring, PT experience all flies), and the ability to present herself well. Which one and a half things do you all have? The latter list, as you may be able to see upon rereading, I said "also helps" - not mandatory, just something that sweetens the pot and is easy to add to a resume if OP already has that background but just hasn't listed it. I was trying to be helpful, so you can GFYs.

My analysis is based on my real-world experience and the guidelines given to me by the five different agencies that I've worked with in my time as a nanny. If you have a lot of experience, that can take the place of a degree. If you have a good degree, that can take the place of experience. God some of you are insufferable.

I agree OP should be at $15/hr minimum.[/quote]
