[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- The problem is pay and hours. If you want to pay $18-20/hr for full time care, it’s low but someone will do it for the full time hours. Part time or on call is always more. I’m a nanny in LA so our rates are higher, but for my full time family I charge $30/hr. For on calls on weekends or in the morning (my work kids are school age) I charge $35/hr because it’s not full time. If you only want hours here and there, you have to pay more unless it’s a 40hr a week job. Nannies are the most expensive form of childcare. I’d try to find a drop in home day care or up your pay. There’s a family who pays me $25/hr for sitting, but I will never be available for them weekends or prime nights (thurs, fri, sat) because of the pay. I’ll do a random Tuesday night or a morning because I’m not doing anything, but I won’t book them ahead due to the pay. [/quote]
