[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We paid our lovely Asian nanny $15/hr for infant care in our home. She was amazing. When our child turned 2, we put him in daycare but we still use her for babysitting occasionally and pay her $20/hr.[/quote]
You didn't share any details about her training or experience, nor did you mention your expectations or priorities. But you certainly got a bargain as you obviously know. Curious how she supported herself on $15/hr. Did she have to live with friends or family to help support herself?[/quote]

Her previous employer loved and cherished her so much that the old boss lent her the money to buy a condo for her and her 3 children. She lives with 2 of her adult children in their condo. I believe the adult children cover most of the bills. All her kids did very well (UVA for university) so she must have done something right.

She is very trustworthy, is college educated and a wonderful cook. All our friends always praised our nanny and told us how lucky we were. She made homemade baby food and also prepped dinner for our family every night. She was awesome.[/quote]

Awesome but only made 15$ an hour [/quote]

I am not pregnant with my 3rd child. I will be looking for infant help but I stay home. I will expect to pay $15-20 per hour because that is the going rate.

DH earns a 7 figure income. I am very well aware of supply and demand. The going rate is $15-20. We used to live in Manhattan and even in the Upper East Side, many nannies earned $15/hr. [/quote]
Where is there a verified "going rate" for baby sitters? Zip.[/quote]
