[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s one thing to split a cost between 2 families (for 2 children) but when you’re trying to add to the share you need to either be willing to pay double or get your own nanny.

Both MB’s are pregnant and they want to each pay an extra $100 for me taking care of 4 children total. $24 an hour for 2 children for 40 hours (in DC). Do you really think it’s fair to pay $580 (a piece) for 2 children who are under 3. That’s $1160 before taxes! You don’t want your kid in daycare because you need someone to be flexible in hours/ when kids are sick, housekeeping etc. but you don’t want to pay for it?

I don’t even think $30 is worth taking care of 3/4 children who aren’t in the same family. That’s a lot of work and a lot of responsibilities, especially when they’re infants and toddlers. Home daycares can’t even have more than 2 children under 2 without an assistant— so you want to pay me only $1160 (a week) for 4 kids?! I love my charges but this is a deal breaker for me.

I’d consider it for $8 per toddler, $10 per infant.  But I would also demand a sit down meeting and make sure everything was crystal clear.  I’m not going to spend every Monday undoing what happened (and didn’t) over the weekend.[/quote]
