[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

This poster is correct. The only thing to add is that you don't pay mileage for her commute. You only should pay the federal rate for driving done on the job.[/quote]
