What do you pay for this kind of help?

OP- I run a local nanny agency and I agree with the $30-35hr range.

Prior to working at the agency, I was a nanny/household manager for 12 years and I think your list of tasks is accurate and doable.

It does take some leg work to find candidates that are willing to make a serious commitment for PT hours, but you can find someone. You sound reasonable and level headed.

Thanks! Are you accepting clients that are looking for part-time? If so, what are your placement fees and guarantee policies?

I’d look for a part-time housekeeper who is good with kids and drives. The 12-5 pm slot would work for someone who has a morning job in the area.

PP here. So sorry I'm just seeing this now. I am accepting new clients. Our placement fee is $3800 and we have a 3 month guarantee. If the placement doesn't work out in the first 3 months, we do a totally free replacement search. I'm always happy to have a call and be really transparent about our process, pool of candidates, the current market, etc. You can reach out to me at [e-mail] if you want to connect. Check us out on google or our website Coast to Coast Nannies.

You forgot to add in driving as well as childcare duties as well.

It would love such a job next school year because I'm not a morning person. I have a 2nd job at a restaurant, but only when I want to go. Here's my problem: I cannot cook to save my life. At my restaurant job, they have always fed us. While I know how the food is made, I would not attempt to make it myself. The other duties are fine.

I don’t think you’ll find someone who will do all these tasks in the time you’ve allowed, but I also don’t think it hurts to try. If someone wants to negotiate more hours they can.

We have a housekeeper who does everything you named except childcare who gets 25 an hour. We also have a part-time nanny who does the activities / driving and occasional errands, and she gets 30 per hour. I personally would offer 25 or 30 an hour, and more than 5 hours a day, rather than 35 an hour.

Will the nanny/cleaner/dog-walker get to use the family car? she will not have time to install and uninstall car seats each time.

Can you do prep work for meals, like cut fruits and vegetables, put rice in a rice cooker, or make sandwiches for school lunches?

25/hour for 6 hours

She has to pick up the dog poop when she walks the dog?

then 30$ per hour.

You're doing this backwards Op. You find someone, anyone who's acceptable to you who's willing to do this and you ask what it's going to take?

Uh, np here but anyone walking a dog should have poop bags with them.

Seems reasonable for a SAHM with no shopping in there.

Looks like mom does not want the responsibility of cleaning up after her own pets!
