[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here and it will bite her in the butt. I need limited hours, but need reliability. I also need someone from 530am-7:30am whrn she drops thr kids off at school. Foe this I pay $25/hr. I pay $250/we no matter what. It actually automatically comes out of my bank account and into hers every Friday.

I had a lot of applicants and the one I chose comes faithfully and has never missed. This mom you interviewed with will find someone and that person will not be reliable. Guaranteed.[/quote]

This exactly, but sometimes it takes a little bit of having to deal with the frustrations of someone who doesn't feel it's worth it to show up for $22 a day before you get it.  I've heard this time and time again - people who are offering slightly higher than a typical hourly rate for these odd short hours.  They probably think they're offering something attractive because it's a higher than typical rate, not realizing that you really have to pay someone $40-50 a day at least just to incentive them to show up.  If you pay higher, you'll get tons of candidates, but you'll be able to find one that will be reliable.

We're another family that needs 1.5 hours in the morning, but I'm not willing to pay $250 a week for that, so we don't use nanny care in the morning.  There are other options that are cheaper, and since we don't need an "experienced, educated nanny" to make sure the kids brush their teeth, we use those.

Don't worry, OP, she'll find that out soon enough.[/quote]

I could find cheaper options, but there is no way in hell I'm waking my kids up at 5am. I leave the house at the ass crack now dawn so I can be home when they get out of school[/quote]
