[quote=nannydebsays]OP, how many years has it been since she worked for you? What was her hourly rate then? One way to approach the pay issue is to offer her the same amount or slightly more than she made for you in the past, which would take into account a small "discount" for LI based on what she would be making if she still worked for you. I hope that makes sense?

For example, if she made $15/hour her last year with you as a LO, and she has been gone 3 years, assuming you give a $1 raise each year, she would be at $18 now if she had stayed with you. Therefore you would pay her $15 - $15.50 as a LI now.

One other thing is that I would simplify the hours issue by making nanny's hours 6/6:30 - 5/5:30 2 days and 8:30 - 5:30 3 days year round. That eliminates the need to constantly count hours, gives nanny a steady income, and insures that you'll have care for the inevitable sick days, as well as days when there is no school. It also allows nanny to manage her tasks most effectively, since she sounds like a self-starter who is a pro at house management from your description.

So with the minor change to hours, (22 + 27 = 49) it sounds like a good package. Hope it works out for you![/quote]
