[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This forum is so trolled . All of my friends and I have nannies , in northern Virginia $22/hr for two kids is standard , and that includes tax deductions. The nurse who posted is correct a nanny who barely has any advanced degree does not deserve $28/hr that’s crazy !
A lot of well off parents in McLean etc are cuckolds that accept whatever rate a nanny proposes but please get your heads straight ![/quote]

OP never gave the hours.  It makes all the difference as most nannies work 50 hours a week.  Overtime brings the hourly rate down to about $23 an hour - for two children, this is far from outlandish.

And the nurse doesn’t even have a bachelors degree.  She is no one to talk. [/quote]

I'm the nurse.  I have a bachelor's degree in nursing. 
Georgetown and GW and WHC start nurses with bachelor's degrees at $55K.  With 10 years of experience (and a bachelor's degree) they pay around $75K. [/quote]

Please understand that some of the nannies here have BA degrees in Education and years of teaching experience.  Why should they be paid less than you?

And yes to the above posters.  $30 an hour is for only a specialized few but I am seeing those “few” more and more often.  Many graduate from college and simply don’t like teaching preschool (low pay, too many parents to deal with, paperwork and lousy directors) but love working with babies and young children so they move to nannying after a few years.  I have also met young women straight out of college who choose nannying.  [/quote]
