[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're going to look for an after-school nanny for two elementary-aged kids starting this fall.  We're thinking 15 guaranteed hours a week (three a day plus a few extra hours on one night for a date night each week), basically pick up kids at the bus (next to our house), help with homework, playtime, kids laundry.  If you have a similar arrangement, I'd love to hear what hourly rate you've had success with.[/quote]

If you want her to do laundry, consider extending the hours one of the days. She can come in earlier and do the laundry before getting the kids. Part of your post is confusing. You say guarantee 15 hours. But you also say 3 hours per day plus staying late for a date night. 3 hours * 5 days = 15 hours. You left out the date night hours. [/quote]

Not sure where you got confused. Guaranteed hours aren't free hours, OP is saying she will employ nanny for 15 hours a week generally, but is guaranteeing her all 15 in the event that MB comes home early or takes the kids on a 3 day weekend trip or something. You seem to be confused that OP was guaranteeing 15 hours but also expecting 15 hours of work...[/quote]

Try some reading comprehension. 
OP says 3 hours every day. [u]That would be 3 hours Monday-Friday, for a total of 15 hours[/u]. OP also says "We're thinking 15 guaranteed hours a week ([b]three a day plus a few extra hours on one night for a date night[/b] each week)." 
OP neglected to include the date night hours in her guaranteed hours. I was pointing that out. [/quote]
