[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be able to find a nanny with a bachelor's in child development or ECE for $15 per hour with basic holiday and vacation pay.  A lot of college grads work as nannies for a year or two while they map out future plans (grad school, etc).  To get a long term commitment (more than a year or two) you'll probably need to pay a little more, especially if you don't need more than 45 hours a week.

Are you a SAHM?  If so, you may want to characterize the job as a tutoring position rather than a childcare position.  You want someone who will come in with lesson plans based on developmental targets, not just someone to administer meals and naps.  A master's degree student in a child-related field might be ideal, because she won't necessarily need full time hours and will probably cost less than a person with the master's degree in hand.  However, she'll presumably be fully engaged in child development theory, and may welcome the opportunity to develop her practical skills through work with your child.[/quote]

Why do you post on every thread, no matter the details of the job that OP can find someone for $15/hour? That is an average rate for an average job for an average nanny. OP does not have an average job and she is not looking for an average nanny, therefore it is in bad taste to advise her to pay $15/hour. An experienced nanny with a degree, especially if OP wants one with a masters, will cost you more than $15/hour. You're living in as much of a fantasy world as the nutso nannies claiming a job requires $30/hour. [/quote]
