[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To pay for a 20 dollar nanny, the mom needs to have a job that pays AT LEAST 40 per hour to make it worth it. 40 after tax is 28. So if you ear 40 per hour, you can make 8 dollars an hour after paying your nanny. You nannies out there calling for a living wage. Your MB nets 8 bucks an hour if she makes 40 per hour and we have all heard that no one should be paid that low. It doesn't pay the rent blah blah blah..

So yeah, lets assume MB needs to net 20 per hour too to make the whole thing worth while. We need to pay uncle sam so MB essentially needs a job that pays 55 an hour. After tax you get about 40 with which we can pay the nanny 20 with.

A job that pays 55 per hour is a 115k/year job. How many jobs pay that in the dc area? Most teachers, admin, service workers, entry level in any sector do not pay that much.

This is why nanny payment does not get much higher than 20 per hour. If you do, the nanny ends up taking more home than  MB.[/quote]

This is why a nanny is more expensive than daycare, and should not be considered a right, but a privilege.[/quote]
