Even $400 per family per week would be low.

No. It would be about right.

No, it would be low. 50 hours a week means 10 hours of OT. $400/55 hours (to account for the OT) is $7.27/hour. That is, in fact, low.[/quote]

Per family. That's $15.50/hr (thought [b]I'm not sure where you are getting the 55 hours as OP only needs 50[/b]) Yes it's on the low side here, but for the area OP is referencing, it isn't so far off.

Personally, if I wanted to pay for a nanny share with 2 kids, I'd start out with the expectation of $20/hr ($10/hr per family).[/quote]

Because the final 10 hours of that 50 is over time, which means it's paid at time & a half. So 10 OT hours = 15 regular hours. So the pay is equivalent to 55 regular hours. So Nanny Deb is right - OP is offering $7.27/hr pay, which is 2 cents more than minimum wage. OP's not going to find a nanny to share at that rate. She might find a neighbor SAHM who's willing to babysit - my friends do that in the same neighborhood. Some in-homes licensed by the city charge around $200/week so maybe OP would have luck with that.

But none of the major centers in town or any nannies will be able to provide full time childcare at $200/week. [/quote]
