We currently pay our nanny $22 / hour (we started her at $20/hour) but she doesn't drive and that was a big factor in her pay. We are now looking for a nanny who drives and plan on offering $25 plus a gas stipend. I just spoke to someone who said their rate is $32/hour and also expected us to pay for her health insurance ($900/month) and provide a car. My son is in school 3 mornings a week. I was really surprised and am realizing maybe I am off base. Thoughts?
Anonymous wrote:OP here. $900 (it was actually more than that) was for just her, apparently. Either way, we are not planning to offer benefits. My husband's company (very small) does not even offer health insurance, so that is not unreasonable. Our nanny would be expected to drive 10 minutes to and from nursery school, and that's basically it.
