[quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny and some days she would be paid while the kids were in school (our youngest was in preschool 9-12 in the mornings, some mornings my husband or I would drop him off, but some mornings she would arrive at 8 and take him and then go back home).

She is a lifesaver for our household and does a ton of stuff besides taking care of the kids. She does all the kids' laundry, our laundry, tidies up, does some cooking, and is sometimes home if I order grocery delivery and will put them away.

I think in advertising for the position you just have to be very clear about your expectations and pay accordingly. We have 3 kids (2 are in school, but she watches them after school) and pay $22/hour plus time and a half when she has overtime. We also pay for gas and almost all of her health care monthly premium. She makes close to $50,000 a year. She works on average 37-38 hours a week, but during our busy time at work she can work 45 hours and sometimes as few as 35. She gets 15 paid vacation days a year, minimum (often more if we are gone on vacation or I give her days off during the holiday season).[/quote]
