[quote=Anonymous]I am confused. They already have an au pair, so this doesn't sound like a nannying gig? And it sounds like their suggested schedule would mean the teacher would be with just one kid for most of the daily 3-hour session? Plus the real rate is $27/hr since they are adding $3/hr as a contribution toward health care or other benefits.

The biggest issue I see here is the expectation that the teacher will watch the infant at the same time. This just seems unrealistic and not really within the spirit of the arrangement they are seeking. I think the parents probably just recognize the baby will be sleeping a decent amount and are hoping the teacher would be okay having the baby sleep nearby so they can get the occasional break. It's hard to describe that in an ad like this and I think you would need it to be pretty clear up front what everyone is clear with.

But this sounds like a very specific and possibly beneficial set up for the right person. I don't think that rate sounds low UNLESS they are really expecting infant care and then it is both too low and also just an unrealistic position. But for 3 hrs/day of ECE for two pre-schoolers, one of which will be napping for most of the session? Seems okay.

I think you are reading the worst possible intentions here.[/quote]
