[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fantastic rate and you will get TONS of responses. We just posted a very similar job on sittercity at $18/hour and were overwhelmed. Found 5 excellent candidates.  Agree though - be totally clear on what you're offering. [/quote]
How was their English? Maybe OP wants someone who is 100% fluent. Different people have different standards. For a seasoned professional, 21./hr is on the low end, IMO.[/quote]

Of course the nanny who wants to inflate rates is chiming in.  $21/hr is a VERY good starting rate OP.  We have 2 toddlers as well and found an excellent nanny for $18/hr.  Not that it matters but English is her first language and she is a very experienced and professional nanny.  HER requested rate was $18/hr and we agreed it was fair so it's not as if she "settled" for a lower rate that we proposed or negotiated.[/quote]
So you've never complained on this forum about your "excellent" $18/hr nanny? Shall we ask admin to confirm that for you?[/quote]

I did ask for advice here once because the hours she was working made it so that she didn't have time after the children went to sleep for their naps to tidy up much before it was time for her to leave. It was a combination of both our faults that has since been worked out by adjusting her hours a little bit. You can check with admin, that's the only time I've posted any issue about our current nanny. [/quote]
How many nannies all together have you had?[/quote]

I'm not really sure how that's relevant to the OP question or the fact that we have a great $18/hr nanny but we've had several nannies due to the fact that my husband was in the military until this year and we've had to move a lot. [/quote]
