$18/hr for one child is a good rate, bordering on high. BUt it's certainly reasonable and should command you great options as an employer.

You can pay less, or more, but there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ your rate. The position will be viewed as attractive by prospective candidates, and the rate will hopefully help you retain a good nanny (if you wish to.)

Don't worry about what other people say. If you have found someone who is a great match for your family, at a rate you can afford, then good for you!

Good that you identified yourself. That explains your lack of knowledge here. The good nannies earn more than that. You know only about your nanny, and what your friends want to tell you. That's all.

Save your bitterness, I've been on this board for too long for your response to be anything other than tired. You're right in that I can only speak directly from my experience and those I know who have hired nannies. But that's pretty much what this board is about - speaking from direct experience. I've hired two excellent nannies, who have stayed w/ my family for years. I know what the market rates are in my area, and what I was able to hire for the money I was willing to spend. I stand by my post.

Ok. How many W2's or payroll stubs have you seen verifying your ridiculous claim?

How many have YOU seen, other than your own?

I knew it. Your "knowledge" is based on absolutely nothing.

I agree. $18 is a normal rate.
