[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I agree w/ the other MB - $20/hr is high - you don't need to go that high.  But if you do you can/will certainly have your pick of fabulously qualified nannies and you can set your expectations accordingly.

Our nanny is 5 days a week, for a total of 50 hours weekly.  She gets 10 vacation days, 5 sick days, and 10 paid holidays each year.

Whether you would want to prorate that at all for a 4 day week is probably worth considering (at least looking at which holidays fall on the days the nanny would/wouldn't be working, how you would handle days around a xmas or New Years break for which the weekdays vary, etc...

Also, just my two cents, we'll be converting all of our nanny's leave time to personal leave starting in January.  She'll get the exact same amount of time, but can use it all for vacation if she doesn't get sick, or can use whatever she needs/want to for whatever she needs to do.  We've run into some unnecessary hassles with worrying about what kind of leave she's using, what her balances are, etc... and I think that just having one pool of leave time will be simpler for all.

Congrats on your baby![/quote]
