bext1 - yes there is a difference between funding amounts between singletons and twins and then again for triplets. It's at the discretion of the company how much they pass onto you though - it's part of the resource grant money.

"Do you have twins and an older child/ren who are under the age of 5? If so then you are eligible for the non-income tested Multiple Birth Subsidy."

Thanks everyone for your help :)]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 19:50:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1248198&title=help-nanny-providers#1248198 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247831&title=help-nanny-providers#1247831 Author: ButterflyMum

Debs, Luke and Zavier both get the same amount of funding from WINZ for their childcare subsidy, which is the max, so I imagine it would be that plus the discount from Homegrown? (like Floss said :o) )

It's not different depending on multiples or singletons, they treat them as individual children ]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 10:38:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247797&title=help-nanny-providers#1247797 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247473&title=help-nanny-providers#1247473 Author: floss

we went through homegrown when noah and lola were born and we got the discout on top of subsidies so it ended up that out of our own money we paid $15 for 3 days and apart from me sending though the time sheet they did everything else.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:53:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247473&title=help-nanny-providers#1247473 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247358&title=help-nanny-providers#1247358 Author: Kimnthekids

Yeah with nannies you pay a rate and it's not dependent on the number of children just a set hourly rate. But you can still claim the childcare subsidy for each child. My friend has a 3.5 year old and twin 15 month olds and she does exactly that. She had a nanny paid for for having 3 under 3 and then kept that nanny on once her free hours ran out cos she said it was no more expensive than daycare once you took the subsidies off what they have to pay her.

Talk to the agencies they will know cos they must deal with multiple children and subsidies all the time.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:42:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1247014&title=help-nanny-providers#1247014 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246827&title=help-nanny-providers#1246827 Author: Zaylah

Thanks cuppatea, I will contact them.

I think because it is a set amount per hour the nanny gets paid and it's not dependant on how many children you have, you won't get that particular type of discount. Whereas they might if they were going to go to a home care educator.

From what I understand, 'singleton' children get a lower discount than twins and triplets. Even if you have more than one child in care. MOE must give the cerntres more funding for twins/triplets? No idea why?

All too confusing for me!]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 10:59:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246827&title=help-nanny-providers#1246827 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246639&title=help-nanny-providers#1246639 Author: cuppatea

But if they give you a discount that should be on top of the childcare subsidy. I get a discount with barnados for having two children in care with them and that's just a discount barnados do it's seperate to the subsidy so before I worked and was entitled to the subsidy I got both, now that I'm working I just get the barnados discount cos we are now over the income thresholds for the childcare subsidy.
If they are a proper provider then you will be entitled to the subsidy, so long as you are below the income thresholds set out by the IRD.

Are Annies Nannies in Wellington? ACC arranged a nanny through them for me when I broke my elbow and they seemed pretty well set up.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:30:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246639&title=help-nanny-providers#1246639 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246633&title=help-nanny-providers#1246633 Author: Zaylah

Yeah they do - they didn't give me a clear outline of the costs but I worked out it was about 73cents per hour per child they were willing to give.

Not much when the other triplet mums I know are getting $3.20 per hour per child! Hence trying to get more quotes :)]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:24:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246633&title=help-nanny-providers#1246633 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246544&title=help-nanny-providers#1246544 Author: bext1

We are looking for a nanny provider service in Wellington. We need one which can provide a nanny and they takes over the pay side of things (as then we are entitled to a subsidy).

The only ones in Wellington I can think of are:
Porse
Home Grown Kids
Barnardos (and I dont think they do nannies but have contacted them anyway)

Can anyone think of any others?
I know up north they have Nuture & Kids at Home...]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2011 21:01:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37581&PID=1246440&title=help-nanny-providers#1246440
