[quote=nannydebsays]Actually, depending on the hours and the breakdown of household:child related duties, as well as the size of the home and the amount of work to be done, $15/hour for a LI working 40 hours/week might be OK.

OP, the fewer hours you need, the higher the hourly rate needs to be. Additionally, the heavier the housekeeping duties, the higher the rate needs to be.

For $15/hour 40 hours/week, with duties split 60% cleaning 40% childcare, I think the following duties list is reasonable:

Clean all rooms in home 1x per week. Vacuum, dust, wipe counters, clean toilets, mop, etc. - Standard Housekeeping, no pulling out the frig, cleaning windows, etc. Loading/running/unloading dishwasher, children's laundry with their help, assist with household linens and adult laundry, grocery shop, run errands. After school childcare, homework help, dinner for kids.

When kids are not in school, tasks need to be prioritized differently if the employee is in charge of kids all day long.

You are basically looking for someone to be the SAHM.[/quote]
