[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twin mom here, just outside DC in Maryland.

I think $15/hr is too low, but I know that at $18-20/hr parents will have many interested and qualified candidates for newborn twin care.

At more than $20/hr employers will be flooded with applications and be able to be extremely picky about what they want.  [/quote]
I earn $25/hr for one child. Why would I do 2 for less?

As usual, it all depends on who you want and what you can afford.[/quote]

Exactly.   You wouldn't take less and I wouldn't pay your rates.  That's fine.  It's a big world w/ a range of choices on all sides.[/quote]
Either you can't afford my rates or you have lower (um, different) expectations than the families who ask for me. Or both.[/quote]

Or I don't like you and was more than happy with other candidates.  I've hired a nanny for my twins twice (and employed fill-in/agency nannies for extended vacation or illness leave.)  Hourly rate expectations do not necessarily correlate with quality of care, fit with a family, or common sense.  [/quote]
Agree that due diligence is required. That should be understood without spelling it out.[/quote]
