[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone! I wrote the OP, I'm just not signed in now. My child is 6 months and hers is 13 months and she is a friend of a friend. I now have a much better idea on what a fair rate may be. $15 seems high to me, but around $8-$10 is what I was thinking (plus some other benefits).Thank you all for your input!![/quote] Yeah, just think of it like a nanny-share. If the two of you were hiring a nanny and each bringing one child, you would split it down the middle. Determine a fair rate for a nanny job with two children of those ages in your area, and split it in half, and that is basically what you pay her. She is getting the benefit of being at home in her house, so she doesn't have to be "at work" all the time at your house. She can, and will, squeeze some personal/home tasks in while she is watching your child, so it is easier on her, so she is still doing well getting 1/2 of a nanny-share rate.[/quote]
