  Nanny/sitter watching one child versus two - costs?  (5 Posts)
Mamabear12 Sun 17-Nov-13 20:35:48  Hello. I am curious, about
costs for watching two kids. I have a toddler who is 21 months
and newborn baby 3 weeks. I understand separately, we would pay
our nannies/sitters to watch 10 pounds an hour. How much if we
want them to watch both? My husband said it should be the same -
but in my opinion it is more work! So wouldnt we pay more? What
are the costs to watch two kids?  Cindy34 Sun 17-Nov-13 20:38:38
No difference in my view. Though I would make sure the
sitter/nanny was used to caring for newborns.  Cindy34 Sun

so cares for any children in your family. If they have been with
you a while then they will have known you were pregnant and thus
will be expecting to care for baby at some point following
babies birth.  Yes it is more work but that's part of the job.
You could compensate by giving a pay rise at the annual pay
review, if you are in
