its just one family. They have twins. For a nanny share the rate should be higher. [/quote]
Based on what? How would taking care of 2 kids from different families be more work than siblings?

Charging families a higher rate for being in a share is just a cash grab.[/quote]

Why do you think people negotiate pay and work? Do you think people work for fun and money is just the bonus? Do you work for free?

Also, families in a nanny share pay significantly lower than families not in a share. Hence why shares are popular. [/quote]
Huh? I'm assuming the nanny is taking care of the two kids together for the exact same hours. If that is the case then the nanny charges one rate because it is one job. Sure, you can negotiate. But you don't raise your rate just because there are 2 families splitting the cost and you think they should pay more![/quote]

You can assume whatever you want but that is not always the case. And yes, your overall rate is typically higher with a nanny share. The families pay less than a single family. How is that unclear to you? It’s not a walk in the park to deal with two families, two parenting philosophies, two kids the same age, etc.

So yeah, I may charge a single family $24-$25/hr for two kids and a nanny share I’ll charge $28-$30 which is $14-$15 per family. You are really arguing that nanny share families get to pay less while the nanny gets paid more?! You’ve clearly never worked a nanny share or know much about the logistics. [/quote]
I was in one for 3 years actually. Have fun charging those prices. Maybe you’ll find some rich dummy.  [/quote]

Dummy?! You’re the one claiming $14-$15 per family is a high rate. If you can’t afford that then what are you doing looking for a nanny period. Nanny shares are usually for families who are far from wealthy to begin with, i.e. you. Most wealthy families aren’t looking for a nanny share. They are looking for a single nanny to focus exclusively on their own kids. Sorry it’s hard for you to come to terms about where you are financially, compared to others. Also sorry to disappoint you but I’ve found that rate with no issues (when I actually commit to a share) bc I know how hard the work is. I also seek out families who are educated, respectful and realistic about the work that goes into a share, none of which you are. What you value in your childcare experience is very different than what the families I work with value. [/quote]
