[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I need a nanny to work Monday and Friday from about 8:45am till 6pm, and half days on Tuesdays. So, the weirdness of the days/times might be an issue. There are 2 kids. I also need the person to be able to pick up my older DC from pre-k all 3 days, so s/he needs a car and valid driver's license. I'm guessing that's a limiting factor, too. I was thinking it might be tough to fill the position, so that's why I posted so early. I am underwhelmed by the responses to my ad, which makes me wonder if it was just a bad timing issue or if I am unlikely to find someone and should start pursuing other avenues for day care.[/quote] Yep, no one is going to respond to your ad unless they are desperate and can't find another job. Who wants to work those irregular hours? Who wants to take Wednesdays and Thursdays off? (If you're going to do a 3-day week, it should attach to the weekend--e.g., M-W or W-F.) Also, a nanny who has a car and can drive is going to be a hot commodity; no way would she settle for this job. Also, why start at 8:45? Are you really going to pay by the quarter hour? You need to look at your ad from the perspective of a sought-after nanny. She needs either normal hours or phenomenal pay with those restrictions. You might be better off with two babysitters--one for MF and one for Tuesdays. You are not going to find a professional nanny with your restrictions.[/quote]
