[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The going rate for an experienced caregiver is $30 hourly plus 2 week vacation paid and most holidays paid as well. We give stipend towards health insurance. Cost of living is high in the DMV, so I don’t see how a person can live on a $20 hourly. [/quote] Roughly $62,000 a year costing a family $78,000 in childcare costs. Just putting it into annual costs at 40 hours a week. $20/hour is $42,000/year. Costing a family $52,000 a year in childcare costs. I have no opinion on whether a family or a person can live on $42,000 a year but I can imagine it would be very difficult for a middle class family to afford 78k in childcare costs. [/quote] $78,000 is equivalent to a GS-11 in DC as a government employee. A GS-7 begins at 52k a year. Just as a reference.[/quote] A government employee can’t afford their own nanny, which is why states are so popular in this area.[/quote]
