For how many hours/week?

$25/hour is going rate in DC for one baby.

A lot depends on the number of hours (as pps have said) but that's in the ballpark.

In the Maryland suburbs for 50 hours a week that's pretty much basic/lower end starting salary and you'll have lots of applicants, but they might be younger or less experienced, or not be US born. For 40 hours a week that's very competitive and you'd have tons of very qualified applicants.

^meant to say the going rate for career nannies is $25-30hr

That's on the low end. The going rate for a career nanny for 1 child is $25hr.

$25 x 40 = $1000
$30 x 40 = $1200

If they need more hours than 40, they are paid at 1.5x overtime rate.

That's $52,000/year. Not even remotely high.
With no OT that's $25/hr which is not high. With OT $18/hr.

Nannies have the same living expenses that you have.

Everyone needs the same basics but some of it is life choices.

Yes child care for a nanny ( one on one care) can be pricey. I nanny 45hrs a week at $28hr

Actually it sounds about right - at $20 an hour for 45 hours (giving parents commute time) that would be $900 (so add in a bit of overtime for the 5 hours or more).

That sounds high but how many hours.

I live in a midsized city on the west coast and 1,000 a week is on the lower end of what an experienced nanny can ask for. That’s $25 an hour.
