[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My biggest concern with only 36 hours is losing a good nanny before I go back full-time. We don’t want to hire someone part-time now, then full-time later. We want the same nanny to be with us from the start. We are now thinking of doing the 45 hour pay for 36 hours, but have the nanny work every other Friday while I run errands and get some stuff done. [/quote]

You're talking about a 9-hour difference. Just have her work the 45 hours, and use the extra time for errands, appointments, etc., and let her go home early some Fridays while you can.

Everyone here is talking from experience. What you see as a way to keep a good nanny will turn into her feeling unappreciated and underpaid and possibly leaving later (or demanding a raise, which you will resent) after a couple of weeks with the longer hours at the same pay.[/quote]

+1 Yes, good idea.  Surely you can find a good way to use the extra time, if you plan to pay her for it.[/quote]
