[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP you quoted here. For morning times anything that would allow her to be off by 2pm so she could be somewhere by 3pm. 8am-2pm five days per week would preserve the 30 hours per week. Since you have the flexibility, it gives you an advantage as well because you can advertise it as such (say you are looking for 24-32 hours of help per week or whatever numbers make sense for you, then say something like times are on a set schedule and negotiable, between 7am and 4pm (or whatever times work for you)). If you still want weekend hours I think you can certainly ask that, but you might consider saying every other week or three weekend days per month (instead of every weekend).

As far as not letting Nanny drive and living in a non walkable neighborhood, this will be considerably easIer/better if your home has many options for play areas. I've been in some Nanny family homes that had a big finished basement, a living room to play in, and an extra play area upstairs plus a lovely big backyard, where it was easy to spend the entire day at home and keep the kids happy. Other nanny families had homes with a tiny sad little backyard, no basement, and only one little play area in the living room. If your home is like that you'll likely have more issues keeping kids and nanny happy at home most of the time. [/quote]

Thanks for all the suggestions.  This is very helpful.  Something like 8 am - 2 pm would work fine for me.  Weekend hours would be a bonus, but every other weekend would be just fine (my husband works some weekends so help on those weekends would be helpful).  Thank you for everyone who responded.  I know the job won't be appealing to many because they are working with a stay at home mom, but hopefully with increasing the pay range that I will get a few people who are interested.

Where do you think I should advertise--care.com mainly?  [/quote]
