[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm planning to go back to work part time in September, and am currently researching care options for my son (7.5 months).  During the school year (September - mid-June), I'll need care for him for 15-20 hours per week.  During the summer (mid-June - August), I'll only need 10-15 hours per week.  If we hire a nanny, I'd also like this person to help us with laundry while my son is napping.

During the school year, we're considering $225 per week (guaranteed), including two weeks off for the holidays and one week off for spring break.  During the summer, we'll offer $150 per week.  I've read that offering sick days is also customary, so we may include that as well.

Our goal is to be reasonable, fare, and honest, and want our nanny to feel appreciated and taken care of.  However, we also don't want to over pay and have no room to increase wages each year.

My questions are -

-Are these wages reasonable and fare to care for one child and do some light laundry if time?
-Is it typical to offer 3 weeks paid time off for a part time nanny?
-Are sick days typical for part time nannies?  If so, how many?

Thank you!  [/quote]

I think your wage is too low. And you need to pay your nanny hourly. $15-$20/hour depending on experience and qualifications. Great you will off guaranteed hours, and I would say PTO is not the norm for part time but it makes the job more attractive. If you want to offer sick days, 2-3 would suffice.[/quote]
