[quote=Anonymous]Op, don't listen to the first poster. $25/hr is not a reasonable rate for what you need, she just seems hell bent on trying to convince people here that if you pay less, you are a nasty cheap b**ch.

You should be able to find a wonderful candidate for $16-18/hr. Once you clarify the actual end time (an hour can make a big difference to some people) your position would be perfect for someone looking to supplement another PT job. Reimburse for mileage at the federal rate, I believe it is 56 cents per mile and have an extra car seat available so that it does not need to be taken out/re-installed each week.
-Be realistic with your expectations for housekeeping chores as well. Keep in mind, though LO may be in school for 3 hours, with travel back and forth, nanny's time may be cut down to 2-2.5 hours. 
-Have a set list of tasks that MUST be done, and then come up with some optional "projects" if she has a bit more time one day. 
-Also remember that your nanny will need a break, don't ask her to complete so many tasks that she never gets to sit down. 
As long as you approach this from a mutually beneficial and respectful place, you should have no problems. [/quote]
