[quote=Anonymous]I’m expecting my first child at the end of the month.  I’ve been in contact with an agency and have had this position listed for about 2 weeks.  I have a pretty demanding job that means I have to be back in my office six weeks postpartum.  I also want to exclusively breastfeed on demand.  Do you see my dilemma?  I’ve rented out the office space next to mine and turned it into a (very cute) nursery.  I want a nanny who is willing to work in the nursery next to my office.  The nursery is pretty spacious (14x16) and comes with a nice view.  There is no kitchen but there is a small sink, mini fridge, microwave and bottle warmer.  I’d be out of their hair accept when baby needs to nurse or if nanny has any questions.

The hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm with fewer hours the first couple weeks and potentially more hours depending on our needs.  Pay $25-30 an hour DOE.  $150 health insurance stipend.  Overtime at 40 hours.  10 days vacation and 5 paid sick days.

The agency owner said it may be a bit difficult to find a good placement, but that she was confident I’d find someone within the month.  I’ve had 11 nannies apply and three do in-person interviews where they toured the nursery.  They seemed genuinely interested but either declined the position or said they were still looking at other options.

My hope is to have someone hired by the time I give birth, but with the holidays coming up I don’t know if that will happen.

What else can I offer?[/quote]
