[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about $40 a day plus mileage?  They can also use my car if that is what they prefer. $40 an hour is too much for driving. [/quote]

Nope.  They have to go to your house and pick up your car, so time starts then.  It’s 2.5 hours, so you need to find s way to be okay with a minimum of 11.5 hours, and you’ll have a much easier time finding someone if you could increase to 15-20 hours.  Otherwise, it’s just not worth someone’s time.  Most nannies and babysitters do 1.5-2 hours in the mornings, then longer shifts in the evenings.  And you need very part-time work, but reliably, which means you need to pay a premium, or you’ll have turnover every time someone else offers more.

What do you have planned for summer, teacher work days, Christmas and spring break, days kids are sick?  If you can guarantee 15 hours per week, then OFFER extra (but not fire the nanny/sitter if she’s not available), you might have better luck.

Overall, most of us are telling you that very part-time makes $30-40 per hour for the hours you want.  Sorry, but that’s the way it goes, those are the hours everyone else needs too, but you’re not offering many hours, so at only $20/hour, it’s more worth someone’s time to take a position where they do an hour of laundry, pick up kids, take them to activities and do dinner, then they’re off at 7, giving them 4.5 hours instead of 2.[/quote]

Yeah I just don’t need that, I only need those two hours. I guess I’ll go with a bus company instead. [/quote]
