[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]just out of curiosity, how much does a live-in night nanny to twins make?i would take care of the babies in the middle of the night, so the parents could sleep. bath, formula feed, burp, diaper,change the babies. no heavy cleaning involved like scrubbing bathrooms, running a vacuum or anything. the hours would be M-F with weekends off. i think i would be expected to help out a little during the day too.

I am now paid $15/hour as a live-out nanny caring for one baby age 9 months. interested to know what nannies have made for this kind of situation? and eventually the babies would sleep through the night so my hours would change to daytime. it seems like a lot of money to have this kind of help.

I would think $15/hour would be rock bottom minimum for someone with relatively little newborn and/or twin experience. OP, you don't say how much experience you have with newborns, or how much nanny experience you have overall, but if you'll be doing full-on night nanny work (sleeping only when babies sleep and chores are done) plus being expected to "help out a little" during the day, you might want to go higher. And you aren't a true LI nanny. Newborn Care Specialists and Night Nannies often live with families while on the job, but don't price their work as a LI would, since their time there isn't "permanent" in any sense of the word.

Of course, if this family wants to pay $6/hour for night nanny care for twins, you won't be working for them, so...

BTW, I know of a Night Nanny who charges $2500/week for 24/7 care for singletons, and she works all over the US. Her twin rate is $4000/week.[/quote]
