[quote=Anonymous]I have school aged kids and have done the AuPair program and am just OVER  having someone else live in my home. My problem is that the AP program works for us because we have school aged kids and I truly think this is a good gig for an AP, but once again, I want my privacy back.  [b]I'd like your feedback as to if you think I could find someone reliable and willing to do this.[/b] Must be legal and have a clean driving license. FWIW, I'm in Loudoun County.

I'm in the market for a both housekeeper and nanny (well someone to keep the kids alive and on task with their homework and some driving).

The hours I require during the school year are 12:30PM-5:30PM (probably off closer to 5:15, but this time block just in case). From 12:30PM to 3PM I need someone to do basic grocery shopping, laundry, straighten the house, run errands as needed, basic meal prep (like chop onions, start rice, peel potatoes type stuff). Around 3, get the kids from school, make the a snack, let them play (prevent them from killing each other), supervise their chores, get them started on homework, and possibly drive them to a practice or activity. Kids are 7 & 11.

Summer hours would be a flat 40 guaranteed, but in reality my kids are in half day camps every other week or so. Same house duties as above. Sometimes the day would be 7-3, sometimes 9-5. As far as going to the grocery store and other short errands, kids are old enough to be left at home.  Again, the nanny is needed for supervision, these are not toddler children.

2 weeks vacation of your choice, all federal holidays off, and paid when the family takes vacation (this year we are taking a 3.5 week vacation in the summer, on week at Christmas, and 1 week at spring break and would not require nanny to take her vacation at the same time-the 3.5 weeks is NOT normal, normally it s 1 week in summer and a total of 3-4 weeks vacation for our family).

I'd like to do a flat rate of $500/wk, 52 weeks a year.

That would basically mean an average of $20/hr during the school year and $12.50 during the summer. Any potential OT (highly unlikely with the camp schedule, most likely nanny would be sub 40hrs) during the summer would be paid at the $12.50 time and a half rate, exceeding the flat $500 weekly rate.

Based on my calculations, this job would average out to 28.7hrs a week over 52 weeks and $17.74/hr at that flat rate and a potential for 4 weeks off paid a year, plus fed holidays.[/quote]
