[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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[b] writing[/b]) with some college and experience.

I work from home and will feed the baby.

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

Your baby is one month old. why does it matter that the nanny can write?  I get reading...how about counting/math?[/quote]

For all the labeling needed after the closets are organized of course.[/quote]

DP.  I want a nanny who can fluently read and write English so I don’t have to deal with someone who can’t navigate providing me with basic things like identification on an I9 or evidence of insurance for a health insurance stipend.  I say this as someone who is not a native English speaker - foreign candidates have always had a million weird requests while young American candidates provide great childcare and do tons of extras like light housework and errands without asking provided the pay is right.  For $26/hour, I’ve got a phenomenal nanny for 2 kids (super young and annoying ages) who organized my spice cabinet and told me which ones were expired the other day.  Random, not expected (or really helpful haha) but there are people out there with initiative![/quote]
