[quote=Anonymous]That seems like reasonable compensation to me for a live-in, but the reality is that the nanny market is very diverse so you will find people who would jump at that rate and other who would consider it very low.  As for live-ins making more than live-out, that depends on how the individual views live-in vs live-out.  Anyone who would charge more to live-in probably shouldn't be a live-in at any price.

To speak to how a nanny would manage both together, my last job was with 2 yo twins and their newborn sister.  We'd get everybody ready first thing, I'd feed the baby while the toddlers ate breakfast, then I'd wesr the baby in a wrap while we walked to the park or drove to a library story time or played in the sprinkler, etc. baby would nap in the morning in the carrier, then she'd wake and I'd feed her while toddlers had a snack, then we'd walk or drive home put baby down for short nap, have lunch, read stories while feeding baby again and put toddlers down for nap/quiet time, then while baby played or was in a carrier I would set up a sensory bin or art project for the toddlers.  Right before nap ended for big kids I would put baby down for nap, then eat my lunch. When the toddlers woke we'd have a snack, then do the project together, then we'd clean up around the time baby was waking and they'd do puzzles in her room while I fed her again.  Then we'd take a walk around the block, come home and play with toys in the toddlers' room for the last little bit of the day, then we'd do dinner (for all), baths, bedtime stories/bottle for baby, tuck toddlers in and then rock baby to sleep.  I didn't always work for all of their waking hours but when I did that's how I handled it.[/quote]
