[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Lots of crazy on this thread.

Market rates are really easy to research.

In DC, specifically NWDC, market rates for one child is $15-17/hr. These are robust rates, in spite of the crazy rates posted here.

Where did you find your (ridiculous) verified "market" rates? Girlfriend poll? You're the crazy one, my friend.[/quote]

There are many resources available to parents to research market rates in their area. [b]The Bureau of Labor Statistics is one place to start, although they are on the low side.[/b] There are several national surveys to consult, as well as softer resources, like neighborhood list servs, calculators at referral sites, and, yes, of course, talking to other nanny employers (and nannies) in the area.

If you consult all of those resources, you will find a pretty stable range that is, by definition, the base market rates. You will find outliers, but you will also find that a lot of outliers are for jobs that require special skills or additional responsibilities.

It really isn't rocket science. Every profession has a market rate.

You also don't need to be a rocket scientist to expect to find inflated rate claims by anonymous posters on the internet. [/quote]

LOL
