[quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine any situation where you are not the only one paying for the rate increase. It makes no sense that the other family would split anything with your or incur any additional cost for your second child. You can do two things reasonably

1. Increase her rate by 1-4 dollars an hour. This will compensate her for the 6 months that there are three kids, and you keep that rate after your oldest goes to school. This allows you the most flexibility to have all three when school is closed, there is a cool activity you want kid to go to so skip preschool, not fevery but not well enough to go to school, third day of a snow day where school is closed but roads are fine. You pick up the entire rate difference, and you have a fixed weekly cost. But, you know you have coverage when you need all three kids watched.

2. You establish a 2 kid and a 3 kid rate. You probably need to increase by a dollar anyway, but you have your two kid rate for once older one goes to school and three kid rate for this time period. Then, you pay nanny different amounts based on kids. You save money in the long run, but you have more tracking and managing to do. Nanny gets a base pay increase and then an additional increase for the extra kid.

3. This is sometimes where shares break down. You might find yourself close to what you would pay for a nanny for just your family, and you have to deal with another family, another schedule, and another child. [/quote]
