[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would want to know that she had experience with share or at least with twins.  I think a $2ph discount is reasonable, but you can always try to negotiate.  Honestly I would choose an excellent and experienced nanny with her own baby over having a one-on-one experience with someone mediocre.  But it comes down to this:

If your budget is $22 and you are expecting $22 worth of nanny, then a $20 nanny with her own kid and the logistical challenges that come with it will be a downgrade.  Is that worth the money?  If your budget is $20, then this may be an upgrade.  If your budget is $18 and you can get her to negotiate down then it is definitely a bargain (assuming that she is experienced and amazing and has great references).

In any case, ask lots of questions about how she plans to handle two babies—who will provide a double stroller or other equipment?  How will she handle naps and outings as schedules change and evolve over time? What is the policy on sick days (if her kid has a fever do you have a childcare issue)?  If she is worth $20, she will have thought carefully about these things and be ready to address your concerns.[/quote]

There is also the extra wear and tear on the house, diapers, wipes, etc. to consider.  Nanny needs to get her own child care if she's charging a full rate.[/quote]

The parent is responsible for providing their kids stuff. [/quote]
