[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re hiring our first nanny in October and wondering what reasonable expectations are for her position.  It will be one two month old.  We’re able to pay $30 an hour for 40 hours a week.  We have a housekeeper so no cleaning beyond baby stuff (laundry, keeping closets and drawers up to date, putting away toys and making fresh baby food/meals when she’s ready).  We do want a fluent English speaker (reading and writing) with some college and experience.

I work from home and will feed the baby.  Uv

I have a real problem with anyone being late and needless drama.  Reliability is paramount.  [/quote]

Okay, I'm going to say what others are dancing around and that is that you sound very controlling and you work from home and will be nursing the baby.  This is a scenario of micromanaging from you and is a huge red flag.

Punctuality is important but unless your nanny lives in walking distance from your house she will be late once in awhile.  Traffic, weather conditions change every day and from your post you don't appear to allow any flexibility.
