Hi everyone! It’s Laura with Nanny Parent Connection back with this week’s video which is an important one!

One of the ways Nanny Parent Connection makes a difference in our community is by sharing valuable information and resources, including up-to-date child care compensation data. Thanks to the participation of hundreds of child care providers, parents, and agency representatives, we’re able to gather data and present our pay rate survey results every year.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce that the results of our 2024 Pay Survey are out! And in this video, we’ll be diving deep into the comparison between the 2023 and 2024 survey results, discussing trends and changes in the local child care world.

So, whether you’re a parent seeking insights into childcare expenses or a caregiver curious about industry trends, stick around as we dive into this year’s survey results!

Looking for childcare pay rate information for the Puget Sound region?

 

Every year, we ask our community and neighbors to take a survey asking what they pay (parents) or what they are paid (care providers) for in-home child care during the past 12 months. We also ask additional questions about experience level, job duties, benefits offered, employment arrangement, etc.

childcare pay survey

Over the past several years, we have asked our members and site visitors to complete childcare pay surveys to provide the parents, care providers, and agencies of the Puget Sound region a snapshot of the average pay for different child care scenarios (i.e. one child, two children, nanny shares, sitter, part-time, etc).

You can find the results of those past surveys by clicking here.

After deciding to place our pay rate surveys on hold for most of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to announce the results of our December 2020 Childcare Pay Survey! A HUGE thank you to the over 700 people who took the survey!

Updated: January 2020

Looking for Seattle child care rates? With current, reliable market rate information for child care hard to come by, we have spent the past year surveying our members on what they pay (or are paid) for various child care scenarios (and we continue to do so!).

You can find all of those surveys and results here.

Many members have asked if we can compile all of the hourly rate averages into one place. No problem! Please see the below infographic for the hourly rate averages of all our pay surveys to date.

As we always mention, please DO NOT use these results as a definitive guide to child care pay rates in our area. Each child care scenario is different. Some parents and care providers agree that the provider should only provide child care. Others decide that the provider will handle child care and light household duties. In addition, average pay rates in the far suburbs of Seattle (i.e. Everett, Federal Way, Auburn, etc.) are lower than those found in the city of Seattle. Use this as a rough snapshot of current trends in the Puget Sound region.
