Hi,
My mother is a nanny and does some light housekeeping in the Washingtoin, DC area, and has more than 7 years experience with children for 0-5yrs of age.
She currently makes $15/hr. She is looking to relocate to the Dallas area and is comming to visit. If you are interested, we can set up a time to meet. Contact me at ###-###-####.
Good luck, S.. B.

Nannies make between $10-15+ hour based primarily on their experience. If you add housekeeping, you should pay at least $15/hr. but maybe more. This assumes the nanny/housekeeper is legal to work in the U.S. If you find someone on your own, I recommend doing a background check. I own Mom's Best Friend and would be happy to help you with that if you find a nanny on your own. I would love to help you with your search if you decide to go the route of an agency. Feel free to email me with any questions you may. Our website is www.momsbestfriend.com and my email is ____@____.com
Good luck to you on your search!

Hello, I'm C., and I was a nanny for about 5 years for four children between the ages of 3 months and 3 years old. When I was a nanny, I started out at $400 a week, by the time I was done working for the family, I was making $400 per week for 3 weeks out of the month and $750 for one of the weeks for the month. It was a great job, and I still keep in touch with the children. I'm not sure if you are looking for someone right now, but if you are, I recently got laid off, and looking for work. I would obviously keep in consideration your particular needs compared to what I used to do. Let me know, I have reputable references. Good luck!!

250-650 with an avg of 450 a week is what I have seen - prices increase based on how fluency, whether they drive and experience.
