[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi!

I’m fairly sure we’ll need to start our (hopefully) long term nanny at $28 to $30 an hour.  We want an English-speaking (native), college graduate with some preschool teaching and newborn experience for our new baby.  We are willing to pay full healthcare insurance coverage as well.

My question is about an unconventional six day schedule:  we need a nanny for just five hours a day, six days a week. We would be happy to guarantee forty hours, however, by adding a couple hours during the work week.  The days are Tuesday thru Sunday but just five morning hours a day on the weekends. We’re thinking 6 to 11 AM or 7 to 12.  Once a month, my mother can come down and care for the baby to give the nanny a paid weekend off as well as most major holidays.

Should we offer more per hour for this schedule? Or are the other perks sufficient?

Thank you for any advice. [/quote]

Ridiculous.  People need time to relax and your schedule spells burn out in three months!  Plus, it may be only 5 hours for six days but you need to sweeten the pot with OT for Saturday.  Normal people like to be with their families on weekends not taking care of somebody else's kids.[/quote]

30 hours a week spells burn out to you ?

Jesus… The lack of character and stamina of some of you is truly laughable.

My kids are generally sleeping until nine or ten on weekends.  No one wants to be with them before noon.  If I were a nanny, I would take this job in a heartbeat.  [/quote]
