[quote=nannydebsays]One issue with an AP is that I believe they are limited to working no more than 9 hours per day, which doesn't fit your stated schedule.

A LO will not be easy at all to find - you want to pay no more than $440/week GROSS, and that would mean about $350 net. Paying rent, utilities, food, etc. on less than 18K a year in net income seems pretty impossible to me. IMO, a LO would need to make at least 35K gross to live decently on their own, possibly slightly less if they were married or had a roommate. (I based this on the COL in my area vs. the COL in Maryland, which is 15% higher.)

So, a LI is the answer for you. IDK if a college student would be able to pay tuition on a $10/hour salary, but a recent grad in a child-related field who doesn't have huge debt and wants to get a year of experience in childcare might work for you. The benefits are good, and the only change I would make there is giving your LI free access to everything in the kitchen within certain set house rules, and if she wants to drink pellegrino or eat brie and drink lots of wine that's on her $.[/quote]
