Triplets

Because they are three they are never bored but am constantly separating the first and last.The middle cannot be bothered.Non are picky eaters so they just have a smaller plate of what i have so no special cooking.You never know what you are capable of till it happens to you….How old is your little one?.

I was exhausted with one 🤣 but he was (and still is) a terrible sleeper and an early riser. But I suppose with 3 they'll interact with each other and keep each other company. My ds needs a lot of adult interaction . Fair play to you. I'd never manage 3

Depending on how you structure their day.
I have a timetable for them and they tend to take nearly two hours naps from noon where i relax.
An hour of cocomelon or Learn with Miss Rachel in the morning keeps them engaged as i make the meals for the day and they are in bed by 7:30pm when i tidy and clean up then it’s me and hubby time.
Sometimes they get up and fuss so we move them in to our room and back once they fall asleep.
I get to use the internet and read a chapter in my book randomly.Its hard but not impossible you get used to it but are mostly exhausted.

I already said perks was a wrong choice of words but please feel free to keep banging on about it.

I think usually a nanny charges per family, not per child. So really it should be similar to your normal rate. But three 1 year olds is harder than 3 children of different ages.
If you usually charge £21 per hr, then I would suggest £23-24.

Year old triplets? Adorable, but I'd need obscene amounts of £££ for that 😆

Who has time for WiFi, snacks and hot drinks with triplets?

I would expect about £25/hour. But to be honest if you haven’t previously cared for multiples I wonder if you might not prefer to just take an easier job. It’s going to be hard graft!

Remember you would be providing accommodation and weekends off plus perks like use of your WiFi and unlimited snacks/hot drinks.

Providing Weekends off? That’s not something of note when discussing salary! Days of it just, y’know, legal!

and since when are hot drinks a perk?! Oh lord

I mentioned Accomodation as minimum salary for live in nanny cannot be less than £2000 a month.By perk i meant other things that come with the package maybe i should use another word.

Accomodation? Only if a live in role?
weekends off?? Most Nannies and more jobs than not have weekends off as a matter of course!
hot drinks are a perk now? Not if you don’t get any time to make one, we are talking about triplets here. I’d have my child proof thermos with me.

Triplets?1 year old!

£60 an hour

Yes two girls and a boy nearly 2yrs old.

If @Pikiti has triplets this would account for her clear insanity on this....if you are going to be driven that nuts by a job at least get paid for it😉.

Nannies don't get hot drinks etc as perks, they are a normal part of their job, they are part if it. Have a nanny, feed her, heat the house, give her WiFi.

Triplets are so much work, whilst you don't normaly pay a higher rate for more children, I think it's,reasonable that a nanny dealing with triplets would be paid a premium taking into consuderate that three babies is not the same as three children spaced apart in age and is far harder, that good qualifcations and experience of multiples ulis not that common, especially triplets over twins, and that many people wouldn't want the job. Its more if a niche job and the people suitable will be a smaller pool. I think you need to be looking at the top end of the going rate in your area, maybe 24? Can local agencies not advise you what you would normally expect?

You have triplets @Pikiti ?

I don't think £30ph

Nannies are lee family not child

Twin nannies don't get paid extra

Tho obv 3 is harder

I looked after prem triplets babies last year. 2 with reflux. Yes was hard but very rewarding

I think i do but you maybe correct.

I don't think you know what a nanny is!

I'd probably look for around £25/26 pounds an hour.

Nannies don't charge more for siblings, it's not a per child rate, but baby triplets is going to be much harder work and more responsibility than different age siblings so I would look for a premium rate.

I can't see anyone willing to pay £35 an hour (unless they're extremely wealthy and absolutely love you over and above any other nanny they meet).

I was only giving an opinion based on the minimum quote i got for my triplets.
Remember you would be providing accommodation and weekends off plus perks like use of your WiFi and unlimited snacks/hot drinks.

To be fair i am a little crazy so please Pardon me.

I would have thought £30p/h for full responsibility would be expected. That's only 1.5 times the basic rate for one child and there are 3!

This!

Triplets will be a toll even for an experienced nanny!

disclaimer: I’m just a parent

I think @Pikiti is crazy OR the parent of the triplets 😅

I would expect it to be in the region of £30-35 per hour based on;

• it’s London
• nanny costs my friends pay (50-70k pro rata for a nanny for 2)
• the CM rates for my own children (£3.5k pm for 2 children)

@Pikiti why on Earth would a experienced nanny drop her rate to £100 a day

Esp with 3 babies.

Even if a parent is around, do NOT take £10 less PH then your usual rate, that’s ridiculous.

I have 18y experience and charge £21ph and tbh I charge what I charge regardless of if the parents around personally. I’m there to do my job, I do it extremely well and I do not discount when a parent is around. On that I also don’t charge extra for multiples/ siblings but I do have extremely firm boundaries when it comes to finish times, expected tasks during the day, holidays and time off.
