the industry standard for any nanny share is that each family pays two thirds of what the caregiver rate is. families never want to do this and try to be deceiving. the family gets a discount on the avergae hourly rate and the nanny gets a slight raise for dealing with more than one family.

This applies to the total rate, not each family's contribution.

exactly, each family should START with $15 and go from there. be sure to each give a w2 as well. had families try to pay me $10-12 each with no added benefits. no thanks.

It ends up being like 2500 a month per kid for a two kid nanny share once you factor in expenses, taxes etc (so 5k total) , so the cost of a more expensive center but you lose the benefit of the center being open more days and the center having longer hours.

People need to clarify what the nanny rate is vs what they put in. $12 each plus taxes is pretty good (probably comes out to $14 each total).

Shares cost more bc nanny gets less time off (unlikely both families gone at the same time) and more hassle (two sets of preferences/instructions) but it is easier to have 2 kids thr same age rather than 2 different kids. Twins are actually the easiest - same schedule and same family.

$12 is low if you do not have employment issuance. Don't fall victim.

I'm also in DC in a two baby share, each family paying $12 per hour on the books. What the heck is employment issuance? We have workers comp insurance, and we pay on the books with all taxes being deducted appropriately.

Each pay $15/hr plus health insurance and leave, benefits, etc..

Depends on location, age range, special needs, nanny education and experience, etc.

$15 an hour.

If you are part of a nanny share and there are 2 kids, what do you pay per family?
