[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The last time I commented was 6/6:30 am this morning. 
Thank you everyone for your helpful comments. I understand what I had in mind might not something anyone would want. I may just rent our basement and hire a nanny for a higher rate. I could potentially ad an hour or two more per day, but I really don’t want 2 employees. My priority is to find someone that will both clean and drive the kids around. And I will hopefully be able to find someone willing to do that.[/quote]

I think you are overly focused on "not having 2 employees".  We had a nanny for 6 years, and during that time we also had a weekly cleaning service.  "Managing" the clean service was totally totally NBD; like basically all I did was transmit payment each week.  If you would just be willing to hire a separate cleaning lady/cleaning service, you would open up your candidate pool because, really, who is likely to have afternoons plus one whole day a week free??

That being said, even if you take out the cleaning piece, I'm not surprised that you've had little interest.  Even with free rent, your rate and hours are just too low and too limiting for finding additional employment.  Do what you said, rent the basement and hire a part-time nanny/baby-sitter for more like $30 an hour (the latter is what you said you are currently doing anyways, right?).  Then also use a cleaning service.  [/quote]
