How much more would you charge for a 30hr/ week position, over a four day period, than you would for a 40 hour/week position? Obviously your annual income would be reduced by 25% if your rates remained the same. Standard nanny requirements, nothing out of the ordinary. I have been a nanny for 10 years and jobs really don't vary too much.

But your free time will expand by 25%, giving you an opportunity for additional ways to make money. If you work less, you'll make less - pretty simple.

Are you purposefully being vague in the hopes that we will tell you a very high rate? No one can be of real help to you if you don't give us information!

All you will tell us:
Two children.
30 hours over 4 days.

No location. No job duties. No ages of children. No information about whether or not the children have special needs or food allergies. No information on any particular skills you bring to the job.

I would say your hourly rate could be anywhere from $8-20/hour. That is not a typo. I wrote EIGHT.

It's obvious you hate being questioned, but here goes...do you plan to take.on another job? If not, and you earn enough to live on working 40 hours/week, divide that weekly gross by 30 and you have your PT rate for this job that you claim is just like every other nanny job that has ever existed. For example, if you earn $800/week for 40 hours, your rate needs to increase from $20/hour to $26.67, an increase of, DUH, 25%.

I think that would be a crazy increase, and would find a one-day-a-week gig and increase my rate by 10% for both jobs. But then I also think all Nanny jobs are different, so you will likely dismiss my advice.

Good luck to you, because you will need it FFS.
