[quote=Anonymous][quote]-In the beginning, there will be a 4 month baby and a 2 year old toddler. What is the fair rate that each family should pay? The nanny will make lunch, take them to their activities, empty the dishwasher and take out the the trash. She will also have to go back and forth between the two houses.

-Then one family will add its newborn (probably when he/she will be 1 month or less). The nanny at that point will care for 2 babies and a toddler. How much should the nanny earn per hour? How much each family should pay? [/quote]

The minimal "housekeeping" is not the challenge here, but 2 babies and a toddler? It's not a matter of $$, it's a matter of having enough energy, patience, and arms to manage three very young children. If this is five days a week for 9 hours plus, the nanny will be exhausted (even if she professes to be willing to do the job) and that means the quality of care for all three will suffer. The family with 2 kids would be better off hiring their own nanny in their own home.  Or this nanny is going to need to have some help...[/quote]
