We live in the Northeast. It's definitely north of $15/hour here. We paid our first nanny $16/hour over the table (so it actually cost us more, because we paid employer taxes and withheld her taxes). Second nanny was $17/hour and in her second year got a raise to $18/hour - over the table. We have 2 kids, but one of them was in school for the first year, part time. The second year, both kids were in school part time but the nanny did house chores, shopping, errands, etc.

We paid our nanny $17/he for one child. I believe that for her other family who just had a 2nd she charged like $19/20?
I have heard that the range for one child in my area is $15-20 and for 2 children is like $18-25. 2 kids seems to be a much bigger range. -
When we lived in NC, we were expecting to pay $12-13/hr (take home...so more if over the table) for a nanny for one kid.
When we lived in a CO ski town, I paid $18/hr for 1 kid and $25/hr for 2 kids takehome. The more expensive one was seriously like the crunchy Mary Poppins though -- tons of experience both nannying and teaching preschool, came with activities to do with the kids, embraced a nature-based/natural childhood, etc. Both of those were part-time and didn't work enough hours for us to have to worry about withholding taxes.
In MN, we pay our sitters $12-15 for 1 kid and $20ish for 2-3kids takehome, depending on level of difficulty
aka who's awake how long, if they typically clean up after the kids once they are in bed, etc.

~$1 5/hour here (a major city in the south).
Some friends do a flat rate of $600/week for simplicity, which works out to $15/hour on an 8 hour day. -
@autumnleaves: Where do you live? In my area, the more hours a nanny works, the more flexibility there is with payment. So if you are only hiring a nanny part time (like 20 hrs a week), so you are expected to pay more per hour than someone whose nanny works 45-50 hours/wk.
It's generally a sliding scale based on education/experience, etc. In my area, it's $14-$20 for 1 kid, and $15-25 for 2. Take home pay. Pretty big difference. We pay $740/wk for 2 kids, an do not expect our nanny to cook or prepare meals for the kids or do any household chores. She does do the kid laundry 1x/wk. She has just 1 kid during the hours of 9-2:30 pm, and I'm home by 4-4:30 most days.

We live in the northeast and pay ours $18/hr under the table (her request) for 2 kids. She does put away their laundry, tidy up, and make their mess while she's there. She's with us 2 days/week.

15-20
-
Generally where I live its 15-20 per hour for one kid, plus 2 weeks vacation, sick time, and a weeks pay of bonus once or twice a year.
Ours only works about 10 hours a week for us, so I pay $20 given that she is flexible with her time and I don't guarantee her a certain number of hours. -
@jape14: thank you!
@Anagram: I hadn't thought about that good point. I live in NC. I'll look more at care.com and maybe nextdoor.com too.
