[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post and all the responses were very helpful for me. I'm in the same predicament trying to find after school care for my boys who are in elementary school. Offering $22/hour. Main responsibility is driving them to activities, no housework. But it all comes down to pay and perhaps I'm not offering enough for the hourly rate as it's only 15-20 hours per week. I simply can't offer more hours as the kids are in school the rest of the time! [/quote] In order for it to be worth it, the nanny likely has a weekly number to be able to meet her bills. Most live-out nannies need at least $800/week, so backtrack from there. if you don't want to pay $40/hour, think about having them come an hour earlier and meal prep, start laundry and get snacks and activities around.[/quote]
