How much do you pay for Nanny? (two kids)

Just trying to figure out how in the world we'd be able to afford another baby....

two in daycare would cost us $2700 per month so that is out!!!!

What are some nanny costs.. full time.:

7-400pm m-f

TIA

Re: How much do you pay for Nanny? (two kids)

I think it depends a lot -- for two kids I would say about 2400 (+ transport) is possible in nyc.

If you are in long island, I think you may be able to find someone for about 2000.

You can get an au pair for much cheaper. You pay a 1 time fee about $4000 to bring them here from another country and then they live with you. They work up to 40 hours a week for something like $200 per week and you pay extra for anything over that. I think sometimes they'll go to school at night. It's nice because you have a built in babysitter for the weekends.

From what I've seen, they are typically $12.50 to $15 an hour, or more.

Are you trying to tell us something???

Have you checked into other daycares or spoke with your daycare about it? Usually they give a better rate for sibblings and John's rate will probably go down when he goes to the next class?

That was a huge thing with us when we moved to NJ. I knew the daycare Mason would go to b/c I worked there. It's a small, privately owned one that is licensed, but they have the best rates.
They also hooked us up a little too... no deposit and gave Mason the 19 month pricing even though he was around 14 or 15 months when he started.
Plus, the price was literally half of what we were paying on LI so we knew we'd be able to afford two there. Only difference is I provide the food, but really... giving him breakfast, lunch and snacks is nothing.

I pay $13/hr for 50 hrs a week for 1 child in Manhattan. I am probably on the lower end of the range - most nannys are looking for $15/hr. I pay on the books so I also have employer taxes and workmans comp. We give her 1 week paid vacation on her own and she is paid when we are on vacation. I also give her a metrocard and offered to have food for all of her meals, but she prefers to bring her own food. It prob comes to about $725/wk. The local daycare is $450/wk.

Re: How much do you pay for Nanny? (two kids)

10 dollars an hour 10-15 an hour depending on situation and what you work out with nanny but it seems like that is the avg. my suggestion is to look at day care around your neighborhood and tell the nanny your option to go there and see what number above that is fair for everyone
