[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) neighborhood list serv—someone will have a cleaner or nanny who is looking for more work or knows someone who is

2) set hours that are logical for another job: 8-1 every day so someone can be an afterschool nanny 2-6; or 8 hrs M, W, F so the person can clean other houses Tues, Thurs.

3) guaranteed hours. She still gets paid if you cancel a day. [/quote]

Great advice here. We have a morning nanny who also does light housekeeping and weekly laundry. Pay her 52 weeks a year, guaranteed 20 hours/$400 week. [/quote]

OP, do this.  Believe it or not, most people are too cheap to do this, and will try to get someone for cheap, practically on demand.  I agree with the other PP who also mentioned find someone through a neighbor that you trust. Also, be aware of the other kind of neighbors who might try to use your person during your hours. It happens. (Poachers will chime in and be defensive, just ignore).

You've been given some good advice here. [/quote]
