I think $15/hr is quite a decent, and very typical, rate for a fulltime position in the DC metro area (barring really significant specific requirements, special needs, etc...)

The trick is that a standard fulltime job is usually more than 40 hours a week - 50 hours being quite typical. So that's usually a weekly salary of $800 or more. There's a big difference in income for a 35 hour week vs. a 50 hour week and that's where OP may run into trouble.

A $15 an hour nanny really isn't going to get poached. They aren't that great.

Sterling is a little lower in price than DC, but since you are only offering 35 hours a week, I'd think in terms of $16-18/hr in your area.

You may find a nanny for that hourly rate, OP, but you will never keep her. She will leave the instant she is offered more money and more hours from someone else.

No, 15. is not reasonable for the DC area. Maybe Kansas.

Your hours may be a little low for that rate to be attractive OP. If a nanny is looking for a full time job your offer is just over $500/week. I think most nannies want to see $700 and up for a fulltime position.

I think $15/hr is reasonable (though on the low end) and you can find qualified care. But the hours may undercut that.

You may have to just run an ad or two and see what kind of response you get - the pool of applicants will give you a good market indication.

Nanny rates are $20-30/hr. and up.
A sitter with less experience will be cheaper.

Yes, I think your offer is quite low for two children especially for only 35 hours a week.

What is the going rate for two toddlers for a 35 hour a week job? Is $15 too low? We are in Sterling, if that helps
