The nannies on this board who think that people in the DC area are paying $900-$1000 starting weekly salaries are just trying to scam you.
I suggest you negotiate and budget in terms of weekly gross/guaranteed hours.This is far. far clearer. Every nanny that we interviewed told us their previous average rate not the lower base rate. On this board, a few bad nannies flip the opposite way and want you to believe that the average is the base. Its not. When people here say they are paying $15, its $15 average not $15 base and $22 overtime.
In the contract specify the actual base and OT rate. If you go over the hours in the contract you would pay the higher OT rate.
What makes you certain you know what anyone means, aside from yourself? Maybe that's what YOU mean when you say $15/hour. I always quote base rate, because that is my rate. If you want OT, you'll pay for it, at 1.5 times my rate. If my rate is too high for you, we won't work together. Doesn't make me a "bad" nanny. In what other world are hourly workers quoted an "average" rate?

+1. There are some very nasty and rude nannies on here who always try to inflate rates. Ignore them.
+2. Well paid nannies are nasty and rude.

I agree that most parents simply can't afford high quality nanny services. It's really for the rich. Regular people settle for daycare, or erratic sitters coming and going every couple of months. Really depressing.

Based on what, besides your wishful fantasy?
Based on my own experience, threads on this board, and what I think is reasonable. It is no more right or wrong than your own opinion. That's all it is, an opinion, and hopefully more reasonable people will respond allowing OP to gauge what is an appropriate range. Go back under your bridge.
Take note, everyone. The only "reasonable" opinions, are the ones she likes.
Sweet!
Bottom line is this. If you can find good, cheap, stable sitting services, fine. Most MB posters on this forum, simply can't.
Just like everywhere else, you get what you pay for. Everyone knows that.
I didn't qualify anyone's opinion, or say that any should be disregarded. I said that what any of us offer is merely an opinion, so you jumping on me because you don't like my opinion is silly. My opinion is no more right or wrong than yours. You're the one that seems to have an issue with opinions that are different than yours. With more responses OP will be able to gauge what is normal on her own, and I would venture to guess $20-$24/hour ain't it.

*before taxes. Always before. She pays her taxes out of that, you pay yours on top of it.

Find who you want and ask. You don't want the 90% of people who don't care.

The rate for a fulltime experienced nanny, generally begins at $15, if you're lucky. Shares are usually between $10-12 per child, before taxes.
