[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nannies we interviewed were asking $17-$20 for one and $22-$24 for a two-child share. This was in 2015 so rates may have gone up. We ended up joining an established share that was $24 when we started. All of the nannies we seriously considered were experienced (10-20 years) with good local references, but none had early childhood training beyond CPR/first aid. I assume if you want someone with this background, you have to pay more. We were also paying on the books and were explicit about this upfront, which may have affected both the rates and the pool of applicants.[/quote]

Exactly the same experience here, but we ended up paying $17 for one child and $23 for two (one started first then the nanny share partner joined). This was January 2016. We have given a raise of $1 per hour each year since. We love our kids' nanny. This is Georgetown, by the way, and the nanny lives in Glover Park, so it's about as expensive a COL as it gets in this area.[/quote]
I can't imagine how anyone can afford Glover Park on $23/hr. Does she depend on roommates?
