[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize there are other threads but they don't seem current or applicable for our situation.

We are looking to hire a nanny when I return to work.

Situation:
 Single child
 Will be 4 months
 Will offer 2 weeks paid vacation (one with us one her choice), sick leave per DC law
 All taxes, workers comp above board.
 Anticipate 40 hrs + 5-10 or more OT
 May do some traveling and will pay for all expenses

We are well educated, pretty easy going parents and live in a nice home and neighborhood close to parks, restaurants etc.

We have talked to a few and most are in the 18-20 dollars per hour range which seems like where most of our friends that have nannies are.   We have also talked to one we like who was in the 25+ range which seems excessive (although I'm sure some get it).

My sense was 20/hr or maybe a couple dollars more.

I've talked to some friends and they are of two minds.  (1) you can absolutely find someone good for less;  (2) better to overpay so she doesn't leave you for another job.

I know some people were talking about 25+ for a nanny share or 2 kids but that's not our situation.  Also see study below (only have 2017 data)

Our job is basically the same as yours OP except we give both weeks of vacation as her choice and guarantee 10 hour OT per week. We pay $20. We found good candidates at $20. We also found one we really liked at $24, but she was trying to match what she’d made caring for two kids. That was too steep for us for one baby. [/quote]
