Forgive me for such a general question but I am new to this and have no idea where to start. I have used a daycare the first year of my daughter's life, and are now expecting #2 and thinking about switching over to a nanny. A couple of questions: 
-How much is reasonable to pay for two young kids?
-Is 40 hours a week the usual amount of hours? Will they occasionally work a bit later in evenings, or is that too much?
-Do we have to pay for health insurance? or do some nannies have benefits from their husband's job?
-What happens if the kids get a cold, will the nanny still watch them or do the parents need to stay home (as with daycare)?
-How much vacation or paid time off is typically expected? What about sick days (if the nanny or a family member of hers is sick?)
-Will the nanny take the kids to an occasional music class, or anything like that? Do I need to provide a car, or will they use theirs?
-Do I need to have lunches packed/prepared or is it enough to just have food in the house?
-What else is usually part of nanny's duties?

Thanks for an insight you can share!
