[quote=Anonymous]Just to put the numbers out there...

$20 hr x 40 hrs/wk x 50 wks/year = $40,000- pre tax. Living wage for 1 adult in DC is $20.12, $17.25 in MD, and $16.61 in VA as of 2021. Of course, it's a little higher in areas of MD and VA closer to DC. 
So...$20/hr is *technically* a living wage in MD and VA, but not much more. If your nanny lives in DC, $20/hr is not even a living wage for one person, let alone someone with children.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since she drives her own vehicle to work, I am thinking that she probably drops someone (husband, kids, etc.?) off at a certain time each morning then drives to your house, arriving at the same time.

If I were her, I honestly would stop for a hot breakfast + coffee at a nearby coffee shop or just read vs. coming in so early - but that is just me.

Perhaps you can offer her a key so she can let herself in & have her sit in the living room either watching television or reading a book.
Of course, stress to her that she make herself comfortable but that you will begin paying her on her actual starting time.

Good luck.[/quote]

That requires money that not everyone can afford to spend 5 mornings per week, especially when many families only want to pay $20/hr.[/quote]

$20 an hour is perfectly reasonable for a nanny.[/quote][/quote]
