[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs who thought $30 is high, but not because many moms don't make $30 after taxes. After all, it's not a nanny's responsibility to ensure people making $150k can afford nanny care. And honestly people in that income bracket probably can't. The reason I think $30 is high is because this is a 3 days a week job. If you needed something like 7-9 and 3-6 each day. then yeah $30 might be right. But with your setup you are more likely to find someone around $25. You need to also look for someone who is actually looking to work fewer hours, though. Maybe probe on that during the interviews.
One idea is to advertise a little on the lower end of what you think is needed based on responses here and see what applicants you get. You can always go higher and repost a job listing if need be, but it's hard to advertise "up to $30/hr" and then pay any less than $30 even if the nanny doesn't merit it based on her experience/skills. there will be resentment that she feels you "settled" for her (cuz if she were the ideal candidate why wouldn't you pay your max?) or that you are being cheap.
