HI Diane,

I'm new to the nanny share and the lowest I've seen is $11/hr per child, and the highest is $15/hr.   Depending on the share, you have to be prepared for paying for holidays (I have heard of between 8 and 11 per year), 2 weeks vacation (pretty standard), and sick days (I've heard of between 5-8 days per year).

Some do it above table, some under the table. It took me a long time to find a share based on price, location, time, age of other child, etc.  It's a process.

Good luck with your search.

RE:

Ours is $12.50/kid. (Oakland -- mostly 15 month olds -- might be more for newly-starting nanny shares?)

RE:

When we were looking for a nanny share, the most typical price I heard was $12/hour per child, ranging from $11 to $13.

RE:

We pay $14/hr per child (this is for an infant, less than 6 months old, so we wanted an experienced nanny and this one is) in Walnut Creek. I've heard anything from $11-14 per kid. I would think if the nanny is more experienced and/or is taking care of infants, it would be more on the higher end.  I think it is high but our nanny is worth is b/c she is very kind, experienced and reliable.  She does not work holidays (the expected ones like Memorial Day, July 4th, etc.) but that is to be expected.
