oh, fantastic! And I assume you verified that it is indeed perfectly legal? I hadn't thought otherwise until someone else mentioned it above.

Wow, $45? I've heard $25. How did you calculate $45? Or do you know of a similar situation? Curious

$15 per family. Why on the world would OP accept $25 for three kids when she can get $25 for one child!?

This exactly. My minimum for one is $25.

Snort. That’s very high. I had friends who paid 16$/hr for their share (8$/kid). 20$/hr for 2 kids is more typical and I can’t inagine that a 3 way share would be more than 25$/hr.

We have a three way nanny share. We pay her $28, for 50 hours, with overtime, NW DC.

The most I have made is $22 for one child, for two nanny share $25, I would take $30 for three children nanny share.

Ok for me, with 15 plus years of experience, with three nanny share and working with triplets. I would not take anything less than $30. In my previous nanny share for two child they paid $24. Anything after 40 hours overtime. I think $45 is ridiculous.

I am trying to find the exact law for DC, but can't seem to locate it anywhere? Do you know where I can see what DC or MD qualifies as acceptable for an unlicensed care facility? As far as I was aware, up to 3:1 ratio was exempt. Thank you!!

Hi OP,

I've worked as a nanny for a long time. My current rate is $30 hour, for one child. I've earned this rate for several years now, across different families with 1-2 children. I agree with the person who said why deal with three families, when you can get that rate for one family? I'm sure all the families are nice people, but how well do you know each other? Are you really all on same page as to hours, overtime, sick time, nanny expectations and duties, etc.? These are all things I don't have to worry about when I'm only working with one family. I've seen it a few times where one set of parents has different parenting styles, but imagine that x3. Honestly, a share with three families is not something I would personally consider. But since your question was about rate, I'd ask nanny what she wants to earn or what she earned previously and then increase it some. For me, I'd say $35-$40/hr would be bare minimum. Shares really pose more of a risk when I think of accepting a job, especially if families don't know each other well and/or have never had a nanny. So again, if i can get $30-$35 with much less responsibility, why would I risk accepting a share position? And yes, $25/hr for one child is very common in this area.

A share is 2 families. 3 families is an unlicensed daycare.

I see, so you're saying the rate per family would be $15, so would that mean $30 for two kids? I'm just trying to understand the logic because there seems to be a range from $18-$24 for two, depending on the nanny's experience. I've never heard of someone being offered $25 per hour for one child, even an infant. Are we talking about the same area? DMV?

Rates are different for every nanny. You don’t know every family so you don’t know what everyone is willing to offer. Just what your circle is willing to offer. There are plenty of nannies in this area making $25/hr for one child.

As for the actual question, I would charge between $36-$38/hr for 3 kids in a share.

What would be the rate for a three family share? All three children in the 9 month - 15 month range.

Thank you!!!
