[quote=Anonymous]If a family is out to hire a new nanny the going rate for 1 kid vs 2 kids is not hugely different. A family with 2 kids only has to offer a but more per hour to be competitive in trying to bid for the services of a nanny against a family with 1 child. Similarly a share family has to offer a bit beyond that in order to attract a good nanny given the extra hassle of a share. So that is what drives the situations that OP cites. The share families are working to target a final combined rate to attract a candidate and then split that rate payment among themselves. A family having 1 more kid needs to top up a bit the pay but they would not pay tons more if they were starting over which is why it makes sense that the Nanny's pay goes up just a bit. Also agree with the point that a second child is often born at a point when the oldest starts doing preschool so there is more work from the baby but also less from the older child. [/quote]
