[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, can't even read through these ridiculous responses!  Anyway, I usually state that my rates start at $x as well.  What that means is that it depends on the time frame, duties involved, [b]behavior of the children[/b], pet behavior and household organization.  I do need to meet with a family and assess the situation before I can give a figure that I feel comfortable with.  If her rates start at $15, she may charge you $17 with both children, I don't know.  What I do know is that after she meets you and the children and discusses the responsibilities with you, she will give you her rate for your family. That rate will be consistent and not change night to night. I don't think it hurts to meet a few people and find the best that fits with your family based on personality, qualifications, and rate.  In my opinion you should always have multiple interviews for any childcare position.  You may also find a couple candidates you like, which can be very beneficial to your family.  Best of luck OP!

You really charge more based on the children's behavior? You've got some balls. [/quote]
More of you nannies should have some balls like her and charge according to the level of expertise the job demands. That's why newborn caregivers get paid more.[/quote]
