[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just looked at this and hired a nanny for my infant in the DC metro-

1.) What is the typical cost of a full time nanny in DC? About $15-22 an hour + overtime, taxes, bonuses, insurance, ect., on average. Range varies even outside that based on education, special needs, number of guaranteed hours, years of experience, location...
2.) What is the typical cost of a full time nanny share in DC?  I was seeing about $5-10 more an hour for a two kid share.
3.) Is there some sort of governing 'how to' document in setting either of these up? Any resources I should be privy to?  Internet and talk to other nanny families - preferably on a non-anon basis.[/quote]

You are simply not to be believed. No decent nanny in this area takes a job for $15/hr, [b]unless she has someone else to support her, and your kid is her "hobby"[/b]. [/quote]

Those people do exist - even if you're not one of them.

OP - what you pay depends on what important to you. I didn't see anyone asking for more than $22 for infant care, but this forum is plagued by some folks claiming you should be paying a nanny more than you make per hour.

I wouldn't want someone as childish as you looking after my children even if you had a Master's degree and were free.  I literally just did this search last month in DC and am not obligated to type up my personal research so that you feel justified in some way.

I don't understand why it's so impossible to post your experience on this site without folks spouting vitriol and  ad hominem attacks just because they don't like you're experience.  I almost didn't go the nanny route because this site makes it look like many of them are nasty, mean people.[/quote]
