1=18
2=20
For same family
2 in a share =23 because of a lot of parent-kiddie diplomacy.
Add health insurance, paid sick days and vacation and gas reimbursement

OK, nannies, what do you charge for a family with 1 baby vs. a family with 2 children? Those rates are not $5-$10 different. The most I've been quoted for my four children was $25/hr.

OMG, if you were in a daycare center, you would be paying at least an extra $50 per day for the new baby....

I think around 4-6 more an hour is appropriate- translate to about 160 -220 per week which is around what centers would add for an additional enrollment. Most families would cut the hours for the three year old to attend pre school so nanny may end up earning about the same anyways.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree with this.
An extra measly dollar more an Hour is a joke considering how
much physical + mental labor go into caring for an infant,
This should be a no-brainer.

Are there other responsibilities the nanny has? We just had our second and though our nanny is great with our child she doesn't do anything else. She doesn't do the child's laundry, no housework, and often times I am cleaning up after her when I get home.

This is fair.
An extra dollar or two is simply outrageous for an add'l infant.
PP, I was paid $21 for one and $22 when the second was born. Outrageous? I'd already received one raise before the baby came, was hired at $20.

Yes even infants can get bored staring at the ceiling fan on the living room ceiling spin over + over.
I then have to take my five-mos. old to another part of the house so she can stare at something else or she will fuss from looking at the same thing.....

Infants are a ton of work.
Excessive feedings, diaper changes, crying and the need to entertain and provide a change of scenery often is not worth throwing in an extra buck or two per hour.
Any family that would be this cheap must have lost their damn minds!!!!!!!
Infants don't need entertainment or changes in scenery. You must be confusing them with 3-year olds.

Infants do not need a constant change of scenery. They also don't car endlessly by default, just because they're babies.

So, do you feel like there should be a big bump for the first year, then back down once the super difficult part is done? With a subsequent reduction in pay when the older child goes to school and the job becomes much easier?
