$24 hour = at least $52,000/year. DH doesn't even make that. That is a LOT of freaking money. I think you PPs are nanny trolls.

Yes, it is a lot of money, but a NAEYC accredited daycare in metro DC would cost close to $6K/month for three children. In this case, $52K for a nanny comes out as the better deal. Also, with twins and a toddler, OP needs a very experienced nanny. This is not a job for a newbie.

BTW, we pay our experienced (20 years) nanny $19/hour, for one infant in NW DC. She is legal, on the books, and we pay taxes and worker's comp. You could get a less experienced nanny off the books for less. But, we need legal employment due to our careers. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Huh, it sounds like you're the one living in the bubble, PP. $19/hr for one infant in NWDC is definitely overpaid. The average for an experienced, legal, on the books nanny is $15- $16/hr. That said, you are right that OP needs an experienced nanny. Depending on her area, though, she could get such a legal nanny for $20- $22/hr easily.[/quote]

I don't think I'm living in a bubble. $19/hr (gross) on the books comes down to $15/ hr take home (net) . Are you confusing net vs gross pay? An experienced nanny who drives in NW DC, is legal, has CPR/first aid cert, speaks English, etc., will cost that much. I don't know any legally paid on the books nannies who are paid less than $18/hr gross.[/quote]
