[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God help the family who provides "apprenticeship". For those considering nanny career, the path is through working in daycare centers for a few years, they are always hiring, and these days they would hire anyone, they are so short of teachers[/quote]

Not to be a jerk but then what's the difference with paying for daycare? inexperienced daycare worker who has to take care of 3 infants or inexperienced nanny in my own home who only has to take care of one infant.
And for the record I am trying to find someone who already has PT job or another family to split the week to make FT hours or a college student who needs flexible/short hours. 
I'm just noticing that people are asking for 25/hr and then I continue to see them respond to other jobs so they aren't getting hired either due to cost or interview. My area is almost AACo so compared to DC it should be a lowerCOL comparatively. 
I was also going to guarantee pay on our end including during vacations and fed holidays and provide some PTO.

I'm not the pp you quoted.  I get that you are trying to find someone that already has a PT job, just be aware that it might be a while before you find someone whose other job's hours are compatible with yours.   For example, if there is a nanny whose other job is watching older kids after school--that might not start until 3 pm.   Since your hours end at 1, that gives the nanny 2 hours of nothing.   It can be risky to schedule appointments (in case they go over) but it's also a lot of time to just sit around, you know?   If the other job is from 3-7, it also makes for a pretty long, drawn out day;  yes, there would be downtime in the middle, but it could be an awkward amount of time.
Most college students will have some morning or early afternoon classes, so it's unlikely that your 9-1 shift will work for most students.

That's great that you already know to guarantee pay! [/quote]
