$25 to $30 an hour. I am in NYC as well and just did this search a year ago. American (or documented) college graduates with experience are not easy to find especially for only 30 hours a week.

I agree, close to $30/hr., especially in the city.

Actually if you are doing the job right - narrating, engaging, reading and singing to the baby - it is not an easy job.

You want a "ton" of experience, great refs, and college education? Then, yes, you are looking at at least $20/hr. For "a ton" of experience, probably more like $25. NYC nannies often expect to be paid under the table, and that does lower your rate some.

But you also say you're open to a college student, who is luke both young and busy, so unlikely to have that experience ... So I don't know!

It is easier to hire for full time, but it's an easy job. With a good rate, I'm sure you'll find someone.

This is pure nonsense OP.
I am sure you already know this though.

Like the PP stated, first of all it depends on your location.
So probably only those that live in or close to your city/town can offer you the most accurate rate.

Oh and quotes from candidates

Located in NYC, yes just 1 baby, we don't necessarily want someone who will "grow" with us. We may not even be here that long. We can make a 1 year commitment but after that we may move.

Just one kid and that young? Super easy job. Definitely low end of range.

Where are you located, and what is the source of these quotes? Location sets the market, and then there's a range, somewhat based on the type of person/qualifications you're looking for.

I know this is a loaded topic. We want to pay our Nanny a competitive rate but we are getting quotes all over the map. As low as $15 and as high as $35/hour.
