For anyone who has or has had a nanny to come to your home and take care of your child, what did you pay her? Does anyone know more or less what in-home nannies usually charge? TIA.
I know two people who have nannies. They both pay them $350/week. The nannies cook, clean and take care of the kids. Let me know and if you can't I can get more info (hey do it through an agency).
We pay ours $8/hr which I think is dirt cheap. Granted, she wasn't a nanny before, but was in need of a job. For that, she cleans keeps my house in order, does laundry, and when MIL needs help with boys, she's right there to help (basically feeding time and sleeping time).
From what I hear from other family members and friends, I believe the average is $10-12/hr with $15 being the top of the range.

There's a calculator on care.com where you can enter zip code and # of kids that seems to correlate pretty well with what I've heard from other moms - at least for the average to high side of the scale.

The lady who takes care of my grandmother gets $350/ week. HTH.
