[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]I am in Cleveland Park area. Looking for a full time nanny. Likely from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and maybe one day during the weekend. Looking for a quality nanny with good experience and great references. This position will be to care for our baby from the time they are born on. I will be heading back to work full time in 3 months. What would a fair rate be? [/quote]

Regarding the Au Pair program, I believe Au Pairs are not allowed to do solo care for infants under a certain age, and you need too many hours to consider an AP in any case.

Frankly, OP, a "fair rate" is whatever your budget will allow that matches up with the rate your preferred candidate requests. If you choose to budget $600/week to cover childcare and the concurrent expenses, you will need to find a candidate you like willing to work for slightly more than minimum wage. If you choose to budget $1200/week for all childcare expenses, you will have far more candidates to choose from, and the likelyhood is that with careful screening you'll find a terrific nanny happy to work for you for around $17/hour.

When it comes to nanny wages, the parents need to determine their budget. That budget determines what candidates will respond to ads, and if there are no decent candidates at the parents chosen budget level, they must either up their budget or find other forms of care.[/quote]
