Anonymous wrote:OP, are you talking about Newborn Care Specialist/Baby Nurses? If so, then yes they typically make $20-30 plus an hour depending upon experience and number of babies. The difference is that they work for a short amount of time. Now regular nanny salaries are a lot different, there are a lot more people making $15-20/hr.

I am a nanny making $30/hr but I am caring for infant triplets in the San Francisco Bay area.

You didn't share any details about her training or experience, nor did you mention your expectations or priorities. But you certainly got a bargain as you obviously know. Curious how she supported herself on $15/hr. Did she have to live with friends or family to help support herself?

Her previous employer loved and cherished her so much that the old boss lent her the money to buy a condo for her and her 3 children. She lives with 2 of her adult children in their condo. I believe the adult children cover most of the bills. All her kids did very well (UVA for university) so she must have done something right.

She is very trustworthy, is college educated and a wonderful cook. All our friends always praised our nanny and told us how lucky we were. She made homemade baby food and also prepped dinner for our family every night. She was awesome.

Awesome but only made 15$ an hour

I am not pregnant with my 3rd child. I will be looking for infant help but I stay home. I will expect to pay $15-20 per hour because that is the going rate.

DH earns a 7 figure income. I am very well aware of supply and demand. The going rate is $15-20. We used to live in Manhattan and even in the Upper East Side, many nannies earned $15/hr.

NP here. I don't know why you're bumping this because it is quite easy to find excellent infant care for one child in DC at the rate of $17/hr. In fact, that rate is quite a favorable one.

Are you available for that rate? What are your skills?

Silence. Decent infant care is very expensive.

Why don't you go and poison all the nannies who happily take the $17/hr jobs. That would have much more impact on the market than your ridiculous bumping of old posts.
