[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I am not currently employing a nanny but was hoping I could get some advice from all of you who are working with nannies who might be able to help me figure out next steps.

I am pregnant with a singleton and my office is offering a hoteling program (basically work at home). As a result of this flexibility I think the best idea/most cost effective plan is to hire a part time nanny. I am thinking it will be from 10am-3pm M-F and want to pay around $15 an hour. Some questions I've had, sorry if some seem stupid, we're brand new to this:

- I am open to paying for some vacation days/sick days but wondering if there is a legal max/min for a PT worker versus a FT worker
- Are these hours reasonable? Would I find someone willing to do that?
- Is this price reasonable if I expect no housework/food prep from the nanny?
- Are there PT nanny shares? Or is this an arrangement that is really only for FT people
- How far in advance of start date should I start advertising?
- Any other questions you think I should be thinking about but haven't asked?

I am due in October and planning on taking approximately 3/4 months of leave so will be [/quote]
