[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are right, OP - $20 an hour for two children is appropriate.  Your four year old will be in school less often than you think - it is shocking how many school holidays, teacher conference days and sick days a preschool/kindergarten has!!!  Plus the nanny, I assume, will now be doing at least the pick-ups from school with a four month old in tow.  Your four year old will still be wearing clothes, still need his laundry done and room cleaned, and still need to eat.

I honestly do not know why people (not you OP - you seem to get it) think that everything is so much easier once a child starts school.  I'd rather have two children home with me where I can control their schedules than the juggling that is involved with school pick-ups in the dead of winter.  [/quote]

Child gone for 6 or 7 hours vs. Having to spend 30 minutes picking them up from school .... hmmmmmm[/quote]

With a months old baby after the winter we had last year...  hmmmmmmmmm

Unless the four-year-old never has a school holiday to gets sick and needs to be home and can make his own meals and do his own laundry - the work load is basically the same if you are doing your job correctly.    [/quote]

A global $3 an hour raise incase the 4 year old is ever sick or home from school is pretty dumb. On those occasions when both children need care you could pay at the higher rate or give a bonus, but theres no reason to give a $3 an hour raise for 8-10 hours a day every day. Wake up.[/quote]
