Newborn rates are $25/hr for one baby in the DC area. This of course is for legal, trained and experienced nannies, not the popular underground slave trade economy I see at the parks in the wealthy neighborhoods.

My nanny is legal and was $15/hour for our newborn, then Year 2 she got $16, then Year 3 was $17 and DC #2 came along, Year 4 was $18/hour right now.  Same with the various families in our downtown Bethesda neighborhood. 
We are very happy with our care and vice versa.  We found our nanny via the family down the street when their youngest went to school full time. 
We are the 4th family she has worked with (2-5 year stints with each). [/quote]

18/hr for 40 hrs. a week is under $38,000/yr.  Barely livable wage.  You can't live on this but you expect the caregiver of your children to live on this pittance.  Disgusting cheap people.[/quote]
My first job out of grad school paid $32K, I survived just fine.[/quote]

How many years ago was this?[/quote]
