Would you offer guaranteed hours for 1 day/week?

I need a sitter for my 4 year old for one day/week when I have to go into the office.
I was offering $27/hr cash paid on the day. I’ve had one nanny ask if I offer sick, PTO and guaranteed hours. I really just wanted to pay cash, am I just being crappy? |

| Guaranteed hrs I would. Especially if you want her available and want to keep her. But not PTO etc |

| Guaranteed hours, yes. I'd let her know what you have planned for the day after Thanksgiving now too. |

| I would guarantee the one day a week yes, but that's it. |

| If her one day a week happens to fall on a holiday, then I would pay her for it. I would imagine it will be tough to retain someone for one day a week. |

GH definitely if I wanted her to keep that day open for me every week, I'd expect to pay for the availability every week.
I'd offer 2 days PTO (to be used for sick or vacation) |

This sounds about right. I would offer guaranteed hours if you want her to be available every Mon or Wed for example to work for you. That would only be fair. However sick days + PTO wouldn’t be necessary in my opinion. A Nanny. |

I need a sitter twice a week rotating days after school. I do guarantee a minimum for each day and pay her once I’ve told her the days even if something changes on our end.
I don’t do sick or PTO or anything like that though. |

| Think about it this way: would YOU take a “Monday job”, without the guarantee that you will be paid for every Monday, but you still have to be available to your boss every Monday?!?!?! What if your boss says: the month of October, I will only need you on 2 Monday’s, but I will pick those mondays…. |
