So $40 an hour, five hours a day Tuesday thru Sunday, 6/7AM to 11AM/12PM. A leased car and car insurance for nanny personal and eventually work use; full healthcare coverage; two weeks off for vacation plus one weekend off a month. And all the pastries she wants.

Sound good now?

I would be really careful about a guarantee for a weekend off per month if you’re relying on in laws for that.

Its affront to get someone hired.

I don’t get the negative hysteria. You’d be working 7 to noon on Saturdays and Sundays. It’s not like you’re working all weekend (which I’ve done as a nanny). Plus you get one paid weekend off every month.

If you’re not an early bird or are a Sunday church goer, this wouldn’t be your dream job but I think it’s a great offer for the right nanny,

OP here. No, my mom and dad want to drive up once a month. If for some reason they can’t, DH and I will work it out so nanny still gets her full weekend off.

I think you meant “a front” and it’s not.

Millions of people work weekends and six days a week. Nannies work all sorts of strange schedules too.

This is so much ado about nothing. OP will find a great nanny happy with this position.

NP. I think this sounds like a great job and you seem very thoughtful. What about holidays? I suggest making clear what holidays are included.

OP said major holidays are paid and off.

People have different ideas about what is "major."

Great, you work 6 days a week.

Where do you live, OP? Wouldn't want to travel far for 5 hours.

OP I know a fantastic nanny looking for PT on the weekends right now. If you are open to a weekend person and then weekday person- reply with an email address (even a throwaway) and I'll reach out.

Also- knowing your general location would be helpful

PP here- the point I was trying to make by saying no one iwht their own kids would be interested is that assuming their kids are in school full days M-F, weekend are largely the time that parents get to spend with their kids or the family unit as a whole. If someone is working half days Sat and Sun that immediately takes away half of their family time, missing most sports games, etc.

Which is fine. Every job isn’t appealing to every person on the planet, There are plenty of nannies who have older kids who don’t even wake up until noon and older nannies with kids out if the house or no kids at all. Millions of people work weekends and not just half days.
