[quote=Anonymous]A nanny share will cost each family about 2/3-3/4 of the nanny’s single family rate. So if a nanny would charge $24 for a single infant/1 family, she’s going to charge $16-18 per family for a 2 family share.

In a share it’s essential that both families are on the same page regarding scheduling, naps, discipline, outings, etc. If both families don’t agree on these things, the only way a share will work is if you hire a very experienced nanny (who will have a higher hourly rate) and then let her run the show when she is working, so that she can manage her days with 2 babies as smoothly as possible.

As far as an hourly rate, every nanny will value her services differently. You need to decide the top 5 things you value in a nanny and then you can see what your top candidates are charging per hour.

2 more things:
1) Dinner prep/cooking isn’t a task that can be done with 2 infants during the witching hour. I strongly suggest dropping that entirely. 
2) You are legally required to pay overtime (1.5 x hourly rate) for every hour worked above 40 per week. You want 15 hours of OT. That will be $540 for OT if nanny charges $24/hour. ($24x40) + ($36x15) = $1500/week gross. [/quote]
