How much do Bay Area nannies make per hour?

Nannies in the Bay Area usually make anywhere from $13-20+ per hour. For highly qualified, fully screened Bay SuperSitters nannies, expect rates of $14-16+/hour for one child, $16-18+/hour for 2 children, $17-19+/hour for three, etc.  (these rates reflect take home pay).  Rates are negotiable directly between the parent and the nannies, but nanny jobs offering less than $13/hour take home pay will not be accepted.

What is Trustline?
