[quote=Anonymous]I'm an after school nanny for 4 older children, 1 elementary, 3 middle. I make $20/hour for 25 hours a week (5 a day). I start a bit before the kids get off the bus to get started on laundry and tidying up. I probably do more housekeeping than a typical after school nanny as the kids are older. The mom is also home so we split up all the driving to activities and getting kids fed, etc.

For younger kids, they definitely need more attention so I would present the job as the 15 hours or whatever the minimum is you need - then offer to add 1-2 hours per day if the nanny would like extra work and that time would be used for light housekeeping and errands without the children in tow. So much easier.

Don't expect nanny to be available to work full days when school is closed. I hate when families assume I'm available. Discuss it with her upfront and come up with a plan that works for both of you and put it in the contract.

As for the rate I would say no less than $15/hour and you could probably find someone really great for $20/hour who might do more than you ask.[/quote]
