[quote=Anonymous]Just put up a post for a nanny on care.com and start at $15-$20 and see what kind of candidates you get. I got about 15 in 1 week. A couple of them I could see them taking care of my kids. They were experienced, English-speaking, perfect driving record, etc. flawless in my book.

If no one who applies is to your liking, then you can up your rate and see what kind of candidates you get.

I have older kids. I've done my nanny search over the past decade. I always get a plethora of experienced qualified candidates in the $15-$20 range.

I've also worked with an agency in the past and I was told that a part time nanny is a bit more than a full time and I should expect to pay $18-$20.

So that is the range but apparently a lot of people don't believe it. A lot of fake posts on here spreading false information. If you are not sure who to believe then just try low and look at the pool of candidates you get. If $20-30 is indeed the rate, then no one would apply to your $15-$20 job posting.

$30 rate means after tax, benefits, moms have to be pulling in $120k-$130k a year just to break even to pay the nanny. Women with young children are often early in their careers. Even if you break even, there is the factor of someone else raising your kid. Give me a break. $20-$30 makes no sense. Law firm partners surely make enough but here's a news flash--any of them have two nannies or a stay at home husband. Not even law firm partners are paying $30/hour for 18 hours a day.

Do the math. Don't believe the crazy rates on here. [/quote]
