[quote=Anonymous]I think you might have to pay slightly more due to one big important factor, you want only 30 hours a week and only 3 weeks a month!

You can find many PT nannies that will do up to 20 hours, maybe even 25 hours a week, but otherwise, you really need to make it as close to 40 hours or up the pay to get someone who wouldn't mind with a few less hours each week.

The 3 weeks out of a month is the even more difficult part, as I don't see ANYONE that will be able to deal financially with having a whole week off unpaid every single month. Normal unpaid vacations can be hard enough if you don't have much vacation/sick/personal days. One week a month is going to raise that rate again.

Basically, if the normal rate for 40 hours a week, assuming 4 weeks a month, would be $15/hr, then you need to see what that would cost and try to come as close to that as you can with your schedule.

$15 x 40 = $600/week
$600 x 4 weeks = $2400/month

To get someone to take on your position, you will want to try and get someone for about $20/hr to have them earn the same weekly pay but only $1800/month. Most nannies will turn down your position otherwise.

Now I am sure there might be some nannies that would love just 30 hours a week and a week off each month, but the number of these nannies (and them being a good nanny and a good fit for your family overall) is very slim.[/quote]
