[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$20+ for someone qualified, and likely more like $22.

If you take someone with little experience then $17 may be fine.[/quote]

+1 But I'd say $17 is for someone with NO experience and I'm not sure your want that.[/quote]

Not true.  $17 should get the OP several legal, educated candidates with two or three years of solid experience caring for twins or siblings in this age range.  She'll also get plenty of very inexperienced candidates who aren't ready for this kind of challenge but don't know it, and she will need to weed them out.  She may or may not not get many applications from the legal, educated career nannies with fifteen or twenty years experience, but she doesn't really need that.  I've found that the first few years of full time nanny experience make a huge difference in terms of preparedness for work in the field, and I wouldn't hire someone who had never done the job before.  However, after a few years, the added value of each year of experience starts to flatten out, unless the nanny is very careful about making sure that each new placement is different enough from her last to actually broaden rather than simply maintain her skills and credentials.[/quote]
