Sour grapes.
This person posted the below this post as well.

OP, yes even if your older child will be easier to look after vs. your youngest one - you absolutely should pay more per hr. since the Nanny is ultimately responsible for two children now.
Imagine there is a fire.
Or a neighborhood emergency evacuation for police activity, etc.

The Nanny would be responsible for BOTH of the children’s safety, not just one.
Plus if you do not pay extra for a 2nd child it may make your Nanny resentful.
I strongly discourage you from even asking her.[/quote]

But she's not ultimately responsible for two children.  OP and her husband telework.  If there's a fire, I'm sure both parents, who are at home, would be able help their older child evacuate.

You're really reaching there with the neighborhood emergency evacuation - what is the last time this has ever happened? I mean, why not nuclear explosion? You definitely need the nanny for that![/quote]
