[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM and I have a toddler and a baby on the way.  My husband works 70 hour weeks, works weekends, and we have no local family to help out.  I would like to hire a part-time nanny to help me take care of both kids once the new baby arrives.  We would like to hire someone for one year, part-time, with hours such as noon-5 pm each day.  We were going to pay $20 per hour.  However, this person would be working alongside me, a SAHM, for the entire time each day, taking care of one or occasionally both kids.  I would be cleaning the house or preparing food while the nanny would be taking care of both kids.  Would a nanny be interested in this job?  Or not because she would be working alongside a SAHM?  Is the pay rate fair?  Thank you for your input![/quote]

Pay is fine, OP.  Some don't like working with a SAHP, some don't mind it.  You need to be clear whether this is a Mon-Fri position, all 7 days, or something else, and that might also affect who you get.  As long as you are clear that this is childcare, not housekeeping, you'll be fine.  The issues most nannies have with working with a SAHP is that the parent really wants a cheap housekeeper who will take a fussing baby for 15 minutes before going back to cleaning.[/quote]
