[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]NW DC, 1 toddler, 50 hrs/wk, $700 gross on the books, 2-4 weeks paid vacation (will vary year to year but minimum 2 weeks), all fed holidays, 1 week bonus at xmas, 5 PTO/sick days, expect all child-related care and light housework if time allows.[/quote]

Well, if you get the sort of candidates you want, you'll know it's an offer that is both reasonable and makes it likely you'll find a good nanny. If the candidates at that price point are not the quality you were hoping for, you may have to adjust either the wages or your expectations.

Do remember that nannies are hourly employees, and while it's perfectly fine to say, "Nanny is guaranteed pay for 50 hours a week, and the weekly pay will be $700." you also need the clause that follows to break down the weekly rate into hourly and OT:

"Nanny will be paid her regular rate of $12.72/hour for the first 40 hours of the work week, and she will be paid her overtime rate of $19.08 for all hours worked over 40 in a week."

Good luck with your search![/quote]
