[quote=Anonymous]We plan to hire our first nanny this fall when our oldest enters kindergarten.  We are in Northern Virginia.

We are looking for someone to care for our children for about 30 hours a week, M-Thu. from 7:30AM until 3:15PM.  There are 3 children -- 5 y/o, 3.5 y/o and 6 month old.  The oldest will be in school from 8 until 3 -- most days DH will walk him to school after nanny arrives.  I will be home around 2:45 and will pick up the oldest. So nanny will have two children, the 3.5 year old and the baby.  She may occasionally have the 5 y/o on teacher workshop days. DH and I alternate Fridays off so she won't have to be there.

We live in a very accessible area. Tons of parks.

We are looking to spend about $18/hr., plus a $400 monthly healthcare allowance.  Is this fair? Is the position described above one that would sound appealing to an experienced nanny? We wouldn't expect much housekeeping during the day, altho loading the dishwasher would be nice! Are we on the right path? Are we asking too much? Too little? We aren't rich but financially a nanny seems to make more sense than a daycare with 3 on board now.

Any advice appreciated! Thank you![/quote]
