[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for the basic nature of this question but I will need a nanny mid-next year and I don't know where to start.  I have no idea what is considered an attractive offer that will get me good, qualified applicants who will be happy with the terms of their employment.  What is ideal for a nanny, but not unnecessarily exorbitant for us as parents?  I would like someone who would work 40 hours a week (weekdays, not weekends).  Ideally I would also like someone who would stay late if necessary, for overtime pay (my husband and I are both lawyers and sometimes work emergencies arise).  How many days off per year would be appropriate?  Would you offer pay by the hour, week, or year, and how much?  Anything else I would add to make an attractive package? [/quote]

Assuming you have one child you will likely attract good candidates with $15-$20 per hour.  Know that nannies on here wildly inflate wages.

You pay by the hour.  The standard is to offer 2 weeks of vacation, one at the nanny' choosing and one of your own (we always choose the week between Christmas and New Years).  We also offer a week of paid sick leave.  Some families offer a stipend for health insurance.  Good luck![/quote]
