[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lived in both DC and Boston. There are very few nannies making over $20/hr for one or two children in either city.

There is one consistently crazy nanny here who wants people to think that $25-30/hr is normal, but it isn't and smart families are not paying these rates.[/quote]

Never said it was for one child, but $20 for two and $25 for three isn't unheard of. I know a handful of nannies in my immediate area that make that much or more. Maybe you just didn't know how to market yourself while living here because I never have a problem finding a job in that range. Of course not everyone can afford that price range but when you live in an affluent area, you are more likely to find families willing to pay. There will always be a need for nannies willing to accept low market rates so the range will vary. Let's not just assume few nannies can command that much or that the families willing to pay must be high profile because that's not the case.

To answer the OP's question, yes $25 for one child is not typical and you can find someone willing to work for $10 all the way to $20 but staying somewhere inbetween will give you the best selection of nannies at a reasonable price. Start at $15 and see what that gets you.[/quote]
