[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP again: I think I will guarantee 2 days (20 hrs) and not offer her paid vacation or paid sick. I leave for 2 weeks at a time several times a year and the nanny will get paid during that time. Also every couple months I will not need her on Friday, but will pay and she will know these dates months in advance. Do you think that sounds fair? Too generous? Not attractive enough?[/quote]

This is very generous, OP.[/quote]

Yep. I think the guaranteed hours thing is the key to keeping a part time nanny. However, I also suggest that you state explicitly in your contract that there are no additional paid days off (holiday, vacation, or sick). It's clear from these threads that a lot of nannies, especially younger ones who haven't had a lot of jobs, just assume these things are available to them if no one has said anything. Also, if you're in DC, you may be required to offer up to three sick days per year (the hourly employee earns them over time). Please check your dept. of labor website.

I have had PT nannies, and I will also just warn you that it's a much more mobile population. People who are working part time usually are doing it for a reason that may change (school, another part time job, family obligations, etc.), and they are quicker to move on no matter how good the offer.[/quote]
