Don't daycare workers make like $13/hr???

Not to be a jerk but then what's the difference with paying for daycare? inexperienced daycare worker who has to take care of 3 infants or inexperienced nanny in my own home who only has to take care of one infant.
And for the record I am trying to find someone who already has PT job or another family to split the week to make FT hours or a college student who needs flexible/short hours.
I'm just noticing that people are asking for 25/hr and then I continue to see them respond to other jobs so they aren't getting hired either due to cost or interview. My area is almost AACo so compared to DC it should be a lowerCOL comparatively.
I was also going to guarantee pay on our end including during vacations and fed holidays and provide some PTO.

I'm not the pp you quoted. I get that you are trying to find someone that already has a PT job, just be aware that it might be a while before you find someone whose other job's hours are compatible with yours. For example, if there is a nanny whose other job is watching older kids after school--that might not start until 3 pm. Since your hours end at 1, that gives the nanny 2 hours of nothing. It can be risky to schedule appointments (in case they go over) but it's also a lot of time to just sit around, you know? If the other job is from 3-7, it also makes for a pretty long, drawn out day; yes, there would be downtime in the middle, but it could be an awkward amount of time.
Most college students will have some morning or early afternoon classes, so it's unlikely that your 9-1 shift will work for most students.

That's great that you already know to guarantee pay!

I pay $50 / hr. for 2.5 hrs. a day in the city.
(My job requires that I be undistracted for those hours.)
It's a lot of money, but she is not cleaning my car, she is taking care of my prized possession.

Some "parents" would rather put this money in their 401k's, and that's their choice.

I interviewed someone once for a nanny position and asked her why she wanted to nanny. She said she'd only ever done food service (Panera, McDonalds) and one day decided she wanted to be a "nanny" because she was tired of working with food and wanted to make more money. No education, no credentialing. Just didn't want to make minimum wage. If we tell high schoolers and young women with zero ambition that they can be a "nanny" just by waking up one day and deciding it... and command $25/hr with ZERO experience... that's dumb. And unnecessary. An entry level nanny should make $18/hr and consider those first few years an apprenticeship.

Put that in a nanny wanted ad and let us know how it goes.

This is a fallacy - a complete misnomer!

What other part-time jobs out there pay their part-time workers a higher salary just because they offer less hours?

Do Target workers who work full-time get less per hour than those that work part-time??
If this were the case, why would anyone want to even work full-time at all??! 🤔

Most people would still need to work full time because even if you get paid more PER HOUR for part time, you'd earn more overall for full time.

Right but the position isn't for someone who wants FT work. Ergo anyone needing FT work shouldn't apply....for a PT position and then be expected to be paid more because it's PT.
A college student isn't going to get a 3-4 hour shift anywhere including starbucks. Anyone wanting PT work because their kids are in school or because they want to bring their own kid but want extra $ etc. Those are the people who would match the job as described.

As a former Nanny who had a gig like this twice once my FT kids started elem school I think you could find someone for $18-$20 if they already have a job with school age kids or a sahm that doesn’t rely on tbd income or need FT hours.

The biggest issue I see is that you’re home, most Nanny’s/sitters don’t want to work for someone watching them constantly. First few days is fine.
Other issue is you’re EBF. So Nanny needs to work around you all the time to feed the baby.
I think you should rethink what you’re looking for.

What? College students get 3-4 hour shifts all the time. What are you talking about?

Where? Smoothie King making $10/hr? Please tell me what jobs college students can get in 3-4 hour shifts that pay above $20/hr.

Part time care is hard. The provider either needs to cobble together another child to piece together a "full time" schedule, or they just work less. So yes, it's normal for the hourly rate for part time to be higher than the hourly rate for full time.

Who are you negotiating with?

Oh, FFS. Because private in home one on one care is a premium form of childcare and commands a premium price. You only get it if you can afford it. If you think $25/hr is too much, you sound like a daycare family.

No. It is not. We are talking about nannies, not Target workers, and PP is absolutely correct. Welcome to the real world.
