[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's your hourly price range, OP?[/quote]

Op here. We are looking to pay $950 net ( $20 for 40 hours, plus $30 for 5 hours). We will guarantee that wage even if we don't use the 45 hours a week. We would like to offer 3 weeks paid vacation, 5 sick/personal days, and paid major holidays. We will offer to pay half of health insurance but after 90 days. We will offer lunch/snacks, reimburse for activities, and give a bonus but I feel those are common sense.

We have a nanny that we like that was recommended but she wants $23-25 per hour. We don't want to start out tha high and wanted to know what is standard. [/quote]

Give her $23 an hour but don't offer bonuses.[/quote]

If that 3 weeks paid vacation does not already include a "your choice" week, make it two weeks if you can swing the $23. If not, keep looking. I think you have a smart nanny on your hands -- her base salary is the most important thing determining her life style, and the higher it starts, the more money she makes in regular salary and overtime.[/quote]

I would also say that this is a high rate for a nanny with one child, but not crazy high. I would expect someone very experienced who brings a lot to the table in terms of making your family run smoothly for that rate with one child. Yes, that means all child-related household chores, and a willingness to do things like pack the child for vacations, or take the child shoe shopping.[/quote]
