[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be the rate for a three family share? All three children in the 9 month - 15 month range.

Thank you!!![/quote]

How many hours a week? 
As someone said, this is waaaaaay more hassle than caring for a family with 3 kids. Schedules, accommodations, communicating. If one family goes on summer vacation for a week, grandparents come visit and take the kid, another family doesn't need you here and there for a day. do you still get paid the same? Because of course you should. Even if the families say they will keep your pay constant and in full, there might be disagreements among the parents on how to divide up the extra cost to make you whole, and those disagreements might lead the share to eventually disintegrate. Plus do the hours needed exactly match? One family might need you from 8-5pm. Another from 9-5pm. Then add the third. How is hosting rotated?

Plus yikes, all kids in the 9-15 month range? That is nonstop work. But if you still want to do this, let me know how many hours a week. If it's 40 hours, or if it's 50 hours with extra pay paid at OT, or 30 hours or what. I am a MB who tried to initially do a share with one family because I could not afford to do the nanny on my own. These employers sound like the same, they are trying to get extra personal care (compared to a daycare) at a cost that is not prohibitive. I'll give you my two cents about the rate, but I need more info. Plus if you give me the city, I can tell you even better. If you don't want to disclose specifics, you can say it's a city like North Arlington, Mclean, Bethesda, NW. Or you can say it's a city like Springfield, Manassas, Sterling. Because what families think they should be paying, or what they can usually afford, varies to some extent on which city they live in.
