  How many children? I currently nanny for a 2year old and get $500 cash. This ends up being about $12 per hour. Average starting pay is $10-$11 per hour.

  Any suggestions on where I should look for a nanny?  Are you aware of any nanny agencies?

  Hi,

   

     I was a nanny for 10+years in ct.  Typically for a 40 hour week with one child is $500 cash for a nanny with some experience.  The rate goes up depending on how much experience the nanny has, household responsibilities, and the number of children.   For someone with a degree or 5+ years experience its typically higher up to $600.  An over the table position usually pays around $15/hr.  You can find cheaper care if you will consider a stay at home mom that can bring a child with her. 

     There are a lot of places you can find a nanny.  Care.com Enannysource.com, craigslist (just make sure to meet in a public place), and nannies4hire.com.  The online nanny sites have the option of ordering background checks in case you are nervous.  

  Hope this helps.  Good luck on your search.

  Hi, I would think of just using a home daycare. My kids (ages 6 years and 19 months) both go to a home daycare and love it. This way they still get interaction with other kids, get out of the house but are not stuck in the typical daycare "center".

  With a home daycare you should make sure that they are licensed and insured. This way you can claim the money spent on childcare on your taxes!!
