nanny costs

schoolsoutbride · January 2012

I'm sure this has been asked before, but can you share with me what you paid a nanny?

It would just be for the babies and maybe walking O to school. The babies would be about 18 months to start.

You are going to hate me...$9-10/hr under the table for 2 kiddos (yup, not running for public office ever), but she didn't have a car and we gave her an old minivan to drive at work and freedom to take the kids to museums, playdates, etc. Plus she was able to eat any of our food that we had in the house. She was a daycare worker at our daycare before the daycare closed and 21 yrs old and just starting to get her degree in ECE.

We paid a summer nanny $12/hr - teacher that wanted to work for a couple months to earn some vacation $ to spend one month in Europe.

However, when I interviewed nannies that we not connected to us, they pretty much ranged from $12-$23/hr for 2 kids and nanny-taxes and such would have to be paid. There were some amazing ones for around $16-$17 per hour, but we couldn't do $2500+ per month on childcare.

We started out paying $12 an hour for one child (who was 3 months at the time). We now have two and she has been with us for almost 3 years and she is making $14 an hour (she is coming up on the 3 year mark - we typically have given her a raise every year.) She only works about 30 hours a week for us though. We are very anal and don't let her use our car or drive the kids in her car.

So $90/day isn't insane? It would be 8 hours and she could use my car

My friend with 8 years experience charges $15/hr.

Not in my book - if you're advertising it as $90/day, I bet you find some takers and hopefully a gem in those who respond.
