[quote=Anonymous]OP, a few things: Care.com's suggested rates are laughably low for quality nannies. They keep them so low to convince parents they can afford in-home care even when they can't and thereby increase their membership. Even for just one child, $15-$20/hr is absolutely reasonable (and is also reasonable for two). You should not adjust the rate at all, not because you're not offering health care but because you're not going to pay her a different rate when one child is home vs. two children are home. You're paying for the safety and security of your children, her expertise and professionalism, and the peace of mind knowing if your toddler gets sick mid-day she can go and collect him from daycare/she is home to care for him if daycare is closed due to weather or holidays/etc.[/quote]
