[quote=Anonymous]I did a share with 3 babies briefly, to help out a friend of my MBs. My rate went from $18/hour to $21. It wasn't enough. There were days where I literally did not sit all day, for 9 hours. I had 2 10 month olds and a 15 month old. I was able to handle it fine, but would probably ask for $24/hour. I think at a certain point, the rate that would make a job worth it is no longer a savings for the share families over a 2-kid share. Some things to consider: How well/often does everyone sleep? Where will they sleep? Does the host family have enough space for everything 2 older babies and a newborn need? What are the temperaments like? Will the older ones be jealous of the newborn? Will your nanny ever get any down time? Say goodbye to any non childcare tasks she may have done, including kid laundry, and sometimes the place will be a mess. Its just going to happen. [/quote]
