Thanks for the breakdown PP. That's pretty much what I was thinking.

I may have to pick up only. Not sure! Otherwise, I will have 3.5 yr old after school, which will be for about 2.5 hours ( of course as previously posted, any sick days and school days off).

Will you have the 3.5 year old at all normally? For example will you be doing drop-off/pick-up at school?

I would charge the 2 child family 65 - 75% of your 2 child rate, depending on how often you will have the 3.5 yo in your care. I would then charge the other family 60 - 70% of your single child rate.

So if your 2 kid rate is $16/hour, charge that family between $11 - $12/hour, and if your 1 kid rate is $14/hour, charge the second family around $8 - 9/hour for share time. Then charge each family your standard rate if you are caring ONLY for 1 set of kid(s) at any point.

Well, we won't search for another family till about July. Goal is to find another child around same age as the baby, which will be 1 years old.

Thanks

How old is the second family's child?

Hello All!

I'm currently a nanny for 1 family with 2 girls ages 3.5 year old and 7 months old. I work in the Capitol Hill DC area, so, would like to get an idea for the rate in that area.

This would start sometime in September when the 3.5 year old starts school full-time. So, my question is, what to charge current family with 2 children, watching 1 of their children ft and the other pt (factoring in sick/no school days in which I will have her all day)?

Thanks
