What affects a nanny's salary
Child's age
Newborns need feeding and care through the night, so infant nannies are at the top of the range.
Number of children
Twins, or a toddler plus a school-age child, are more work and cost more.
Extra duties
Children's meals, laundry and homework help are usually expected. General housework is a separate job.
Experience
A nanny with years in families and references you can call is worth more than someone starting out.
Local differences
