Two twin boys and one girl: ages 3 (the twins) and 6 months (the girl)
I have been nannying for this family for a while now and feel like I am getting ripped off. They are sweet kids, and I wanted to set a reasonable rate for an an average-moderate income family. What would YOU personally expect for three little kids?

I am 19 years old, and have watched children from 3 months to 8 years old, if that helps.

wow, i don't know where you live, but in chicago NO one will pay $30.00 an hour to watch their kids. that's unheard of.

Good grief. I'm 18 and have been babysitting since I was twelve. I have never made more than $8 an hour for up to four kids. Of course you are nannying, so that is pretty different. If they are good kids that helps though. I always feel more ripped off with my pay if their kids are rotten.
Good luck!

I do home daycare and the going rate in a rural community is $35.00/day for ages 2 1/2 to 5, $37.00 for infant/toddlers. Food is not included. A full day is 4 hours or more. If it is less than 4 hours it is $5.00 per hour. Remember these rates are per child. As a nanny you should be getting anywhere from $10.00 - 14.00 per hour depending on your qualifications - eg. first aid, food safe, if you are driving the children, any related schooling or classes, etc. These rates are in Canadian Dollars. Hope this helps!

You didn't say if you are live in or live out.
Live in: $300.00 per week
Live out: $350.00 per week ($50 for transportation)
$30/day for a child over 2 years in California is the average. An infant is a lot more than that! Hourly rates can get tricky unless you have that agreement with the parents already. I would say negotiate for a weekly rate with a maximum of nine hours per day and have a contract ready with what you want!

Well if you babysit them everyday knowing that it's an average- moderate income family I would say charge them monthly..about $40-50 dollars. But if it's like weekends and couple days a week go for $30 a day. Good luck anyways.

For 3 kids, I would say 15-20 dollars an hour, nice of you to think of the family's income but you have to think of yourself too. Besides, I don't think that is a lot at all considering what they would have to pay if they had all of the children at a daycare!

I just moved into an apartment complex that has a daycare provided and for 1 day a week for 8 hours it is 275 a month. So for 4 days a month if I choose to do it, it would be equivlant to 68.75 a day.

It's been a while since I babysat, but I used to get about $8-$10/hr for similar situations. Although it can be tricky to ask a family for more money -- it can make things awkward. But to make you feel a little better, this question reminds me of how my mom would always tell me that she used to babysit for 50 cents/hr, and that she can't believe kids make $10 and up nowadays.

Where I am From they Charge 3.00 for the First Kid and then 1.00 for every kid after that
so 5.00/hr
But if it were me paying you it would be at least 8-10

No more than $5 an hour.

About $50-$75 a day if you are living with them and eating their meals. About $25 more if you aren't.
