[quote=Anonymous]Hello, we have a 12-month-old and we just found out we are expecting twins next spring. That was not part of the "plan," but we are trying to adapt and figure everything out. Before twins were in the picture, we assumed that whenever we have a 2nd kid we would just send them to the in-home daycare where our oldest is at. That costs $375/week. Breaking that down, that is $75/day or $9.375/hour (not that the day/hour rate is an actual option offered).

As I start revising the budget, I'm trying to get an idea of what rates are like for a nanny working with newborn twins and a 19-month-old (looking at when we would actually need someone). It looks like normal rates start at about $20/hour (up to $30ish), but I'm not sure how that is affected by twins, or if twins actually even affect the rate or if it is simply based on the total number of kids.

I expect we would be doing everything on the books, so taxes would be another expense (any idea about how much)?

It looks like people also generally offer a week's salary or so as an annual bonus. Plus vacation days, sick days, holidays.

Mileage (if applicable) would be another expense if they drive their car.

What other expenses should we expect? [/quote]
