We're expecting twins, and are very excited! We're interviewing baby nurses, and have spoken to two in particular who seem really wonderful. What's the going daily rate in Manhattan for a live-in baby nurse taking care of two? We will probably hire her for two months.

        • Yeah, $250 is the rate for singletons. But $350-400 seems too high to me. I'd guess $300-350

    • Congratulations. Will you be returning to work/need a FT nanny after the baby nurse leaves?

    • I had an agency quote me 225 for a twins 24 hour baby nurse, and another baby nurse quote me $300 for twins. Of course, you can always go higher...

      • 225 from an agency. Wow, the times, they are a changin'. When I was looking 2 years ago, the agencies were quoting 250-275 for one baby but you could find one directly for 225-250

        • We are probably looking at somewhere between 250-350 per day, from baby nurses who are unaffiliated with agencies. We haven't heard anything outrageously expensive, and nothing bargain basement either. We will need a nanny once the baby nurse leaves, but we're on the fence about whether to get someone just for during the day, or for 24 hour care. We're a two-career household. Thoughts?

          • I never had a baby nurse but if you're planning on going back to work and will need a nanny for during the day, I can recommend one who is excellent with newborns.
