Agree that it really depends on who you want. Top nannies earn $30-35+/hr., especially for a share. Of course you can settle for a mediocre nanny at $16-18/hr. Pay rates are all over the map, and beyond.

And sadly, I agree with the nannies who say it's not great with a WAH parent. I know I'm a liability. I'm lucky that I found a good fit. I don't intervene, and my office is on another floor completely, so it works.
Re: your original question... we found a nanny for $20 / hour and it was going to be about $600 / week per family.
What was her background?

Yes, an au pair is cheaper, but not everyone has the space for an au-pair to live with them (seems like it would work best if you had an english basement or a separate space). I also prefer an experienced nanny over an au pair, who is usually very young and may not have a lot of experience or interest in kids. To me, it was worth it to pay for someone with a proven track record of taking care of kids. I would worry about my au pair not being very good at her job. But I know people who have had au pairs and loved it. I think it all depends on the family (and space, definitely, space!).

Not in DC.....
Minimum $1000 a week for what most people would consider "good"
Exactly. I earned $1,000 weekly for less than 40 hours 18 years ago in the DC suburbs. Still have my pay stubs.
Btw, that was for only one child. They had me for eight years.

$600 a week per family so $1200 for both families.
