1. Benefits Provided to Nanny?
--------------------------------------------------------

 My husband and I are considering getting a nanny for
 approximately 35 hours per week in the end of
 August/early September for our twin sons who will be
 approximately 4-5 months old so I can return to work
 full time. We're in the initial phases of looking into
 benefits for a nanny- what benefits do you provide for
 your nanny? PTO? Sick time? Health insurance? What is a
 typical going rate in SF?Thanks in advance for any
 input, it's greatly appreciated!

 We had the same experience and ended up going with a
 nanny with no twins experience and it has been fine. I
 think what's most important is that she will listen to
 your priorities and go with the plan. We communicated
 clearly how important it was to us, and we haven't had
 any issues with ours not keeping them on the same
 schedule. Good luck!

 Hi Bonnie,I think what's most important is that you and
 your nanny are able to communicate openly and that she
 is willing to comply with your requests. Our former
 nanny didn't have twin experience but ran a daycare so
 I knew two children would be no problem. She initially
 had my twins on different schedules. Not sure why it
 didn't occur to me they wouldn't be on the same one. I
 spoke with her about it and she immediately put them on
 the same one, and even went one step further to put
 them on a set schedule and not just the loose but same
 one we had. I let some things go because I didn't want
 to nitpick (honestly, I don't even remember what they
 were; I just remember wondering the question) but for
 the major or important stuff, it was great having a
 nanny who said, "Sure, no problem." Sometimes there was
 more discussion but it was comfortable. And she was
 always quick to put me at ease. I think you can pose
 the question when interviewing nannies. Raising twins
 is special and differential and comes with its own
 challenges, is she willing and able to put them on the
 same schedule and whatever else is important to you to
 make your life easier when the nanny isn't there? Best
 of luck and success in your search!
