Let's Talk Specific - What Can I Expect to Pay a Nanny?

I am not sure if you would be open to this, but you might want to consider allowing someone to care for your kids that could also bring her child along. I would try to find someone with a little one the same age as your daughter or a little older. Because she has been with other kids in the daycare, she might miss having friends to play with. It is also cheaper to pay someone who has a child because they are caring for their baby too. It could be a good situation for you..I would say you could pay more like $7-$8 per hour. Good luck with your decision making process, I am sure it is a tough one! ~A.~

Have a wonderful day

I worked as a nanny from about 1998 to 2001. I started at $10 an hour working 44 hours a week and got a dollar an hour raise each year. The hourly rate was before taxes. It was a set salary and they paid me whether they needed me or not. They also paid me vacation pay- I only had vacation when they were on vacation though. I know that before they hired me they checked with nanny agencies in the metroplex to see what the going rate was. They had two children and the rate also included light housekeeping like laundry and vacuuming.

From what I hear, it runs from 10-12/hr
