[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a big difference between $18/hour and $24/$25.

How about meeting in the middle?  You can find a good nanny for 1 child at $20/$22.

For sure she can find someone in the middle.  Those $20 to $22 will be paid in cash.  No on the books.  [b]No one is accepting that rate on the books.[/b] [/quote]

LOL This board is so ridiculous sometimes. We just went through the nanny search process and had several very willing candidates (some college grads even!) accepting $20/hr on the books. interestingly enough they all varied in experience. [/quote]

LOL. We just did exactly the same search and found no applicants with a college degree and experience for under $28 for one infant.  Not one. I don’t know where you live or where you advertised but your experience is very different than mine in Georgetown area in February.  We hired a wonderful American nanny, older with nanny and teaching experience and a really good college degree for $30.

We live in NW DC. Posted on care and sittercity about two months ago, got 50ish applications total, talked to about half and narrowed down to two college grads. One was in grad school and looking to take night classes - she had nannied in college and during summers - and the other was a mom who previously had nannied. We hired the mom and she’s been amazing so far with our infant.

Someone else posted on another thread that a lot of daycare workers are quitting to become nannies and the few we talked to this summer were college grads and happy with $20/hr. They were definitely burned out and looking to make the same money with one kid. [/quote]
