Summer Nanny Rate

Ladies, I am in the process of hiring a nanny for the summer; and wanted to get an idea of how much the going rate is. I have never done this before; so I am interested to hear what everyone else pays. They're going to watch my daughter, who will be turning 1 in July. TIA!

Re: Summer Nanny Rate

  • Our "sitter" watches Cole 3-4 days per week & can kinda be considered a nanny without ALL the cooking and cleaning (just a little!) is $9 per hr.  I believe the going rate is about $10 on the low side per hr..  When I was looking at possibly hiring a nanny, many were asking $12 per hr.
  • It depends on what you are looking for.  Most high school students would work for $8/hour.  College students or those with a degree will be looking for you to pay them $10-12/hour.

    Oh, and I repied to your post on working moms.
