[quote=Anonymous]I paid a total of $50 an hour (two sitters, each getting $25/hour) for my twin infants and toddler. Why so much? -- three children who needed direct supervision at all times -- three children in diapers/Pull-ups -- three children to feed -- both babies could be crying or needing to eat simultaneously, and inwas NOT okay with bottles being propped. My twins didn't learn to hold their own bottles until they were almost a year old (they were preemies who needed OT to work on fine and gross motor skills) -- the toddler threw epic temper tantrums when she was tired or feeling neglected, so I wanted someone to be available for her, as well.[/quote]
