Anyone have any idea on the going rate for a nanny?  My daughter was offered a job over the summer to watch a 2 year old, around 40 hours a week.  She usually gate $15-$16 an hour for normal babysitting jobs.  She was going to ask for $14 an hour, my daughter is 19 and home from college.

Is $14 an hour reasonable?

 

 

 

If I were her I would go to www.care.com - it's a site were nannies, eldercare workers, petcare workers advertise their services and people looking for those skills can find them.

It does force you to fill out a free profile - but I'm guessing she would get the "intel" she needs. She could fill out the profile as though she was looking for a nanny within her customer's zip code, fit the profile to her own credentials, and then review all the profiles of her "competitors" and see exactly what they're charging. I'm guessing 10 minutes of time would probably provide a wealth of geographically accurate, real-time pricing info. 

Maybe check care dot com, see what is the going rate in your area, and undercut a tad. My sitter is 18 and charges $10 an hour for two kids. She's really good with my kids, so I always overpay her.

Ask high negotiate down.

Ask for photos first.  Then price is negotiable 

All depends if she is naughty or nice.

There's nothing wrong with a little forewarning.

Physicallities can matter.  I wouldn’t want a a three legged nanny. 

Ohh i see.  Mrs peel. What were you thinking?

You must have an ill perceived dirty mind.

Maybe. But it's more likely that Zeeker's thinking has invaded her psyche and is now in control!
