Going rate for newborn twins

[Anonymous]

Just wanted to make sure my numbers aren't off. Salary offered is 15$, I was thinking the going rate was 18-20 are my numbers off? Thanks in advance

They're nuts offering $15/hr for twins.
Don't waste your time trying to educate them.

Where is this position OP?

I think its low but since you could be posting from the Midwest who knows.
In this area $20-$25 for newborn twins sounds more realistic.

Dont go lower than $20. Assuming you work 40 hours a week, thats $800 a week, not bad.
Are they putting anything towards health insurance?
and whats the car situation if youre going to be driving eventually?

I'm not sure about health insurance being offered. I decided not to move forward when they offered 15$ an hour

You are wise to avoid dealing with them. Either they can't afford newborn twin care, or they think it isn't worth much more than their $15/hr.

Twin mom here, just outside DC in Maryland.

I think $15/hr is too low, but I know that at $18-20/hr parents will have many interested and qualified candidates for newborn twin care.

At more than $20/hr employers will be flooded with applications and be able to be extremely picky about what they want.

I earn $25/hr for one child. Why would I do 2 for less?

As usual, it all depends on who you want and what you can afford.

Exactly. You wouldn't take less and I wouldn't pay your rates. That's fine. It's a big world w/ a range of choices on all sides.

Either you can't afford my rates or you have lower (um, different) expectations than the families who ask for me. Or both.

Or I don't like you and was more than happy with other candidates. I've hired a nanny for my twins twice (and employed fill-in/agency nannies for extended vacation or illness leave.) Hourly rate expectations do not necessarily correlate with quality of care, fit with a family, or common sense.

Agree that due diligence is required. That should be understood without spelling it out.

Nannies making $25/h are not better than those who make $15/h
