[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]OP here: yes, so frustrated now. :)

So I'm thinking around 42-44 hours. I don't expect a ton of extras. The primary concern I have is to care for the kids. Obviously when the children are eating table foods, various meal prep for the child only. Cleaning up after the kid during the day but no other housework. I can do my own laundry.

Someone above mentioned thinking about care for my. 4.5 yr old when she is sick. My mom lives in town and will watch my daughter at her home on those days - no need to expose the babies and nanny to those germs.

I want to pay taxes and do this on the books. My husband has a job that requires us to do everything above board.

My work hours are super flexible. I usually leave the home at 8-8:30am and can be home as early as 3pm some days. DH is home by 4pm. We don't work OT, ever.
We are very easygoing people.

Again, we live in Stafford and have a big enough home to host and would prefer to do so.

OP, nannies willing to do  share are going to have their own ways of determining what to charge. A few nannies will charge each family half of their 2 child rate, most nannies will charge each family 2/3 or so of their single child rate, and some nannies will charge 75% of their single child rate per family. I think in general, single child rates represented here (with some crazy outliers) are between $12 - $18/hour.

I would guess the majority of nannies would be looking to charge between $9 - $14/hour per family for a share situation. So for 44 hours of care a week, you'd be looking at sopmewhere between $414 and $644, plus about 10% for your share of taxes, and an additional amount if you use a nanny tax service.

Generally nannies with more experience and education charge more than nannies new to the field. You'll want to determine how much experience is important to you, particularly share experience or twin experience.

The fact that your expectations around "housework" are so reasonable will be a good selling point. Good luck!
