I don’t understand.
Not the PP, but this was asked because possibly living in was brought up & if someone were to offer or take that as an option, having kids in the house would affect the dynamics for that.
Obviously there are all sorts of specifics about our household that I would need to discuss with someone I was thinking of hiring, kids being one of them.
But the PP seemed to imply that it would change the answer to my question about structuring pay. That I don’t get.
I don’t think that someone living in would work for us.
I'm the PP who brought up living in. Yes, the structure of hours affects pay, always. And if you had a live-in, that would affect pay. Since you have children, that would definitely affect the pay as well.
Live-in caregivers don't get overtime (except in certain locations). However, live-in caregivers expect to have the ability to sleep, and the placement of their bedroom, a daytime sleep period and kids at home would affect pay. Since you have no intention of have someone live in, it's irrelevant to you... but because you didn't provide a complete picture of what you wanted and were asking questions about pay, I suggested multiple options that might have worked (and might decrease your total cost).
