We just interviewed a nanny who currently works in the city although we are in Harford County. She is making 20 an hour. She was what I call a "career nanny"...not some 22 year old doing this as a temporary job. So I think that she's at the higher end, and you might be able to find someone who charges less.
I think you can expect to pay anywhere from 12 to 20 per hour in this area depending on experience and what extras the nanny is expected to do...housework, laundry, etc.
Where did you find your nanny? I have only heard of care.com as a resource. I know DC has nanny agencies and not sure if Baltimore has the same.
I'm trying to decide day care vs nanny because I won't need day care full time due to being in school. I'm staying home with the baby until he/she is 8 months and then will have to see which is more cost effective when I go back to school.
I'm due December 24th :
