[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good morning,

My daughter is 9 months old and is currently in a daycare center. My husband and I are interested in getting her into a more personalized care situation, so we're exploring the option of a nanny or--more ideally--nanny share.

The thing is, we're clueless as to cost and logistics. Can anyone help us out?

1.) What is the typical cost of a full time nanny in DC?
2.) What is the typical cost of a full time nanny share in DC?
3.) Is there some sort of governing 'how to' document in setting either of these up? Any resources I should be privy to?

Thank you so much for your time. I am looking forward to learning more about this![/quote]

For a full time nanny, you can pay anywhere between $17-20 per hour for one child. Nanny shares in DC can range anywhere between $22-$26 to start. Whether you decide on a nanny or nanny share, you need to figure out what responsibilities the nanny will have and what compensation you can afford (i.e. hourly wage (and OT), sick, vacation, healthcare). If you go the nanny share route, you should find a family first. Post an ad and let the families know the age of your child (and what age you would like the other child to be) the location and the hours- you can discuss everything else in private. Any responsibilities: wages (OT included), hours, stipend,  sick, vacation, inclement weather, holidays, cause for firing, transportation to be used with children, PTO request protocol etc. should be included in your contract. Who will be hosting or if you would like to fluctuate houses, some nanny shared route weekly, monthly and even daily.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
