[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for considering me for this position. My current hourly rate is $30.00 for new clients. Let me know if I can send you a list of nanny agencies or websites that might helpful in finding someone within your price range. [/quote]

I'd go with a version of this.

Thank you for considering me, but I don't think I'm a solution for you as my hourly rate is $30/hour.  On occasion I have discounted that to $20 for friends of my employers and evening coverage when the kids are asleep.  Best of luck to you in your search.

On a separate note, I don't think it's particularly kosher that you're double dipping.  If you're being paid an hourly rate of $20/hr for an entire season when you aren't working, and you're considering adding on a full-time position to that, it just somehow seems shady OP.  Sweet gig of course, but shady.[/quote][b]

Op here- Thank you for the suggestion about what to send to the referral family, it sounds good!

I've been with my current nanny family for 6 years and when they go away for the summer they pay me so the they will have a nanny when they return in September. In previous years I had to travel with them most of the summer but the kids are older now. They know I babysit on the side because they are my reference when families ask me to work weekends/when they go away. [/quote]
