Seeing how this is a share and not a single family, I absolutely would request at least a $4 dollar raise. You won't be pricing them out of a share and it's definitely a way better deal then daycare for two children. Plus there is no way in hell they will find a competent nanny for two children for less than $11.50 each family.

I think the people who are responding are forgetting this a share not a single family. To be honest OP, I absolutely wouldn't back down from a $4 raise. You can easily find another nanny share paying $20 per hour for two children and not have to deal with the added workload of 2extra infants. [/quote

First, it's quite easy to find a competent share nanny for two children for under $23/hr.
Second, where are you getting the two infants thing? It's just one infant being added to the OP's load.



oh snap, please disregard my orginal post, I completely got this OP confused with the other OP from another post about having a share with four children. There have been so many of these lately.

OP, Yea $4 from one family is a lot if your only adding a third for a few months especially if you believe the rate will stay after the older child goes to preschool.

The parents have offered a $2 raise for the new child but I think I deserve $4/hr. Though I understand the going rate seems to be $1-5/hr, I think 4 is fair because I am adding a 3rd child and not a 2nd to my workload, which is more work than if I were just watching a single child and got his sibling (does that make sense?). It is also a somewhat temporary situation as the older sibling will go to preschool within a few months of the new baby arriving in my care. I have been with the families for 3 years now. What are your opinions on that?


The going rate is not $1-5 per hour. It's more like $0-$3. $3 is on the generous side.

And another who agrees. $4/hr seems really high, $2/hour seems appropriate and like the parents are really trying to do the right thing.
