[quote=Anonymous]I'd disagree that sick days are uncommon. There are plenty of nanny jobs that don't offer PTO or sick time or guaranteed hours however the ones that do are more attractive. They usually include two weeks vacation - 1 week at the employer's choosing and 1 week at the nanny's choosing, and around 3 sick days.

I do agree about not offering the Internet. It seems to be a real problem with some nannies abusing it. Someone who isn't going to take a job because they are more interested in surfing the web at nap time (usually more than nap time) isn't someone you want to hire anyway.

Its best to negotiate in terms of weekly gross pay and scheduled/guaranteed hours. Most nannies will report their average rate not their base rate. In your contract, you would write in the actual base and OT rates.

On providing a car, there are plenty of nannies that have a safe reliable car but not all nannies can meet this criteria. Using the federal mileage reimbursement is a good way to deal with the compensation but it is NOT legally required. The IRS rate only defines the maximum amount that can be reimbursed as non-taxable income. [/quote]
