[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the US we would do another $1-$2 an hour for another child. [/quote]

Really?  That seems low considering that a nanny share would be an extra $5/hr.  I'm about to have my second baby and worried I'd be stingy if I offer only a $3/hr raise (it'll come at her 2 year anniversary when we'd be giving her a $1/hr raise anyway).  [/quote]

Nanny shares are a whole different ball game. You have two families' schedules and parenting styles to juggle. You have way less time off- when one family takes vacation you still have to care for the other child. You have two households to support and all that comes with that- two different commutes, bringing supplies from one home to the other, up to 4 work from home parents, two sets of pets, 4 sets of grandparents if they're involved, etc.

I do agree that $1-2hr is not stardard, but $3 is for an additional child. Also share families usually pay around 2/3 of the nanny's one child rate each. So if the nanny charges $24hr for one, she'll get around $16hr per family for a share.[/quote]
