I'd guess it depends on the market,what end of the market you're at, and what you're asking the nanny to do.

I know that the top of the line for nannies in the D.C. area is in the ballpark of $35K - $45K per year salary, plus some benefits (health care, etc.). That seems to involve a roughly 45-50 hour work week. A friend of mine in the business gets that plus, IIRC, two weks of paid vacation and ceratin holidays off.

That said, I know a couple who are paying just over $40K per year plus benefits, for a _live-in_ nanny. But that nanny works about 60 hours per week, and cares for twin toddlers, one of whom has significant medical needs.

Live-ins generally get paid less than live-outs.
