[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you only want 30 - 35 hours a week. If so, you will need to pay a premium rate since your job is only part time. It might be very difficult for your Nanny to find a second job that ends at 11:30 am and doesn't need her to work on days your kids don't have school.

My guess would be that you'll need to offer $25/hour at least to find the kind of professional Nanny you want.[/quote]

I don't see why part-time employers should be paying more out per hour in salary just because they offer less hours.

Other jobs do not do that.
If you choose to work part/-full time at Walmart, your salary is the same regardless.

Companies do not tend to offer higher wages for part-time hours vs. full-time hours.

This has zero logic.
Sorry. :([/quote]

Since OP has indicated she needs full time, this is something of a moot point, but...

Part time at Wal-Mart working nights only plus part time at Target working only mornings. No need for extra pay because the job timing allows you to step in if needed to start early or stay late if another cashier calls out. Big corporations generally have many employees they can ask for extra hours, and no one gets resentful if you have to say no frequently.

Part time with Family A from 7:30 - 11:30, part time with Family B from 12:30 - 6:30. Mom A is regularly late getting home to relieve you, and also asks you to work until 1:00 or later. Mom B always asks you to run more errands than you possibly can be for school pick up, and tells you to just start working earlier when you talk with her. Single families generally only employ one person, and often ask you to extend your hours even though they KNOW you can't, then they get resentful, or just come late to relieve you, and generally act annoyed their family doesn't take priority over your other employers.

Solution? Work part time for ONE family who pays a higher than normal rate for the opportunity to be able to have you start early or stay late whenever they wish.

P.S. Companies are different from families. Totally and completely different dynamics.[/quote]
