[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]If you need 5 day per week 75% of the year, I think you're better off paying $18 an hour and guaranteeing 40 hours a week vs paying a higher rate for only 4 days, but wanting nanny to reserve that day.

$18 an hour X 40 hrs per week X 52 weeks= $37,440
vs.
$20 an hour X 32 hrs per week X 52 weeks= $33,260
PLUS
39 (one day, 75% of weeks)X 8 hrs per day X $20 per hour=$6,240

A lower rate with an unspecified but likely frequent number of PTO is likely more appealing and also may be cheaper[/quote]

I also think this would work well, especially since it sounds as if you would need nanny most weeks to work 5 days. Personally, I would prefer to be ready to work 5 8 hour days a week and get a "surprise" day off, rather than being prepared to work 4 8 hour days and 75% of the time "lose" the extra day off. One thing I would want is a predictable start/end time. IDK if you were thinking you wanted flexible timing each day, but that would be a turn-off for me to have to work MTuF 9 - 5, WTh 7 - 3, then the next week work completely different hours.

As long as you are clear that days off will be last minute, and may only happen at XYZ times of year, and as long as you outline an OT rate in case nanny goes over 40 hours, I think you'll find a good number of candidates. Good luck!
