Unless the family is very flexible (in the nanny’s favor) with the schedule, likelihood is that they wouldn’t be able to pick up another position. So, pps are right that it would be a stepping stone position.

As PO asked, is it spread out over 3, 4, or 5 days? That makes a huge difference. What time of day are you looking for? Are you offering any other benefits? In general, no, $17/home woll not secure a quality nanny for 30 hours a week, likely not for 50 either. But there is more to the equation than what you are asking. And responding “Get lost” says to me that you are unprepared to be a nanny employer. Best of luck to you though!


The pp who asked about daycare, I assume is not the one who stated “get real!” I said “get lost” because instead of helping a parent who is obviously new to the idea of using a nanny, they choose to make an unnecessary comment. I also thought I responded to pp about daycare. We can afford to pay more but I wasn’t sure what the going rate is for the type of care needed and I am fully aware of what it takes to be an employer.

Do daycare facilities accept infant part-time?
It would be 3 days per week; 2 long days and 1 short day (will relieve the nanny at 4:30 on short days). Arrival somewhere between 7:30 & 8:30 but will have a set schedule.
No housework or laundry. Hand wash bottles and everything else can be thrown in the dishwasher and I will make sure the dishwasher is empty on working days. Simply interact with my baby, teach, play, sing, laugh and get out as much as you can/like to.
11 PTO days, all holidays

Please let me know if I should share more details and if $17 is still low, what is appropriate rate for a 6 month old if I am unable to find a nanny share family. Thank you for all the useful information.


Benefits sound a little below par (norm is two weeks, major holidays and 2-5 sick/pto).

12,12,6 or 11,11,8 makes it much, much easier to find a nanny, provided that you keep the same three days every week. If you’re going to rotate days, pay for all five or do daycare (and pay for all five), because it would be worse than working m-f on a guaranteed schedule of the same 6 hours everyday.

Yes, daycare takes pt infants, but you pay ft rates.

The higher the salary, the less likely you are to get much turnover. I have people contacting me for live-in positions with one preschooler starting at $16-17/hour. There are numerous nannies to n this are making $25+ as a live-out for one infant. Nothing says you need to pay that; there are a few that brag about paying $12-15. It’s up to you. But $17/hour live-out is likely to be higher turnover.

For states, look on Facebook and here. Find the nanny after you find the other family.
