[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get your question.  Find a job that works for you.  How will you make enough to cover another nanny carrying for your kids - that makes no sense.  Didn't you post this before?  Where is Dad in all this?  Don't drain through your savings as you don't know what the kids will need and could have some major expenses.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, I have actually posted a few months ago asking what nannies did with their own kids, good memory. However, as you can see, I am not asking what I should do with my own children. I am very happy with the arrangement that I have and can finance it well. I'm looking for people to share their experiences leaving their very young children to be cared by someone else while they nanny other people's children, because hearing from people who have been there and done that will actually help me make an informed choice on whether to return to work at a daycare or find a nanny position.[/quote]

In less you have family money or huge savings, you are taking a huge risk financially with twin working for $18-25 an hour given what your child care costs will be.  You also have to include medical co-pays, diapers, formula (if you cannot breastfeed or choose not to), clothing, and more.  If one has SN, it can be extremely expensive with services and other stuff.  It makes sense to take the higher paying job with the most flexibility as if your child care is not available, then can a family cover you not working that day.  Usually one hires a nanny, so they don't have to worry about child care.[/quote]
