Nanny wages vary across the country. The following are some general weekly wage guidelines assuming a 45-50 hour work week and one or two children:

18 - 20 years old, or less than 2 years verifiable child care experience - $275-$375 live-in; $7.50-10 hour live-out.

21 years or older, 2 or more years verifiable child care experience, no prior nanny experience (note that college education puts you to the higher end of the salary range) - $350-$500 live-in; $8-15 hour live-out.

Two or more years of nanny experience, and/or a college degree in a child related field - $400-800 live-in; $10-18 hour live-out, higher in major metro markets.

These figures are just guidelines, local job market and specific employment conditions cause considerable variation. Be aware that these are "gross wage" figures, before payroll taxes have been deducted.
