[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much any nanny with the qualifications you described could land a job at $30hr for 50 hours per week right now. That comes to $85,800 per year. I agree you have to consider your competition. Here are some ideas

-Raise your rate
-Offer a flexible schedule (let candidate choose the hours)
-Throw every perk you can out there- can they be added to your gym membership, phone plan, Netflix account, etc etc
-Lower your qualifications (or be flexible on them)

Just on schedule alone you are going to eliminate:
-Anyone with kids
-Most with grandkids
-Anyone that likes to go out on Fri or Sat nights
-Anyone that likes to spend weekends away
-Anyone that has a significant other they primarily see on weekends
-Anyone that likes to travel[/quote]

You are also going to eliminate anyone that goes to church because you need a nanny Sunday morning [/quote]

Many churches have Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon/early evening services.[/quote]

I am Protestant and I know of no protestant churches with services on Saturday evening.  Jewish services are on Saturday but I suspect there are very few Jewish nannies.[/quote]

Also I just did a quick search for "Presbyterian churches with Sunday evening services" and there are Presbyterian churches with Sunday evening searches.[/quote]

I SPECIFICALLY said SATURDAY evening services. Knowing how to read but with no comprehension is the same as being illiterate.[/quote]

And I SPECIFCALLY said "Many churches have Saturday evening OR Sunday afternoon/early evening services."

But good for you  being able to call [b]yourself[/b] out with your "knowing how to read but with no comprehension is the same as being illiterate."  Learn to read so you can do better.[/quote]

I will concede that there is one, and only one, Protestant sect to have Saturday services and that is 7th Day Adventists.  Baptists, Methodists. Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Lutheran, etc., have worship services on Sunday morning (generally 2 services) and some also have Sunday evening services.  Catholicism is not protestant.
