[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nannies in this area who get $25/hour for one child. Can't imagine a nanny who'll do well with OP's boatload of a workload, unless she's super nanny AND a saint. Good luck with that.[/quote]

OP here - Yeah, I'm getting the vibe that this won't work out well.  I don't find handling them all to be much harder than just handling the twins alone, given that the older one helps with the little one, and the little one is just a cute little blob.  Of course, I'm the mother.    [/quote]

Yes, but I have also found that adding additional children doesn't add that much per hour.

For example, I had one child and for babysitting the going rate was $20/hour. But friends who had 2 kids - same rate.  Friends with 3 kids - $22/$23 an hour.

Nannying is different from babysitting, but, yes, the main thing you are paying for is someone's time and willingness to believe that you, an individual vs. a company, is good for the living wage you promised. All the rest of it is how nannies differentiate themselves from one another and argue that they are worth higher pay, which is fine, but the workload isn't the primary thing you are paying for.[/quote]
