[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s different and more difficult to care for two same age kids than two different age siblings. I nannied in my 20s. I was paid $20 an hour 15 years ago, but when I took care of two babies from different families at the same time my rate was $30. This was just part-time, not a FT nanny share. It was very easy to take care of one toddler, or a baby and a 2 or 3 year old. The two babies/young toddlers at the same time was challenging. Then I got married and pregnant with twins. Go fig.

I'm the PP who is moving to a nanny share at $28 per hour.

Just wanted to note that this view, while it makes sense and I can understand where you're coming from, is not universal. One thing our nanny was clear about is that she wanted a similar aged kid to mine. That makes sense to me - it's easy to get two 9 month olds or two 18 month olds or two 2.5 year olds on the same schedule. But I found as a parent that the time when I had one kid on two naps and one kid on one nap was the hardest for coordinating things like time at the playground. So not all nannies will agree with you on this. [/quote]
