[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]OP, if you have to cut other expenses to afford a nanny with more experience, you would be better off investigating a nanny share. You could stay within budget and still find a nanny with more experience. $1200/week for 50 hours in a share should get you good candidates.[/quote]

Please share whatever you're smoking.  That is an ABSURD rate for a share.  Absolutely laughable. [/quote]

Didn't say it was realistic, just that $1200 weekly would attract good -> excellent candidates. Actually, it's not all that absurd though. 1200/55 hours (so you can calculate OT) is $21.82/hour. High, but not insane, IMO.

It all really depends on what the OP wants. If she wants a nanny with years of experience and stellar references, $700/week in the DC area won't cut it. But if she's willing to accept less experience, possibly no actual nanny experience, she can likely get that for $600/week and leave herself room to offer raises and bonuses.[/quote]
