[quote=Anonymous]For a part time position, I wouldn’t guarantee pay over breaks. Guaranteeing over the normal school schedule is fine. As a part time sitter myself, I don’t have guaranteed hours at all. If the parents go on vacation, have a relative visiting that can watch the kids, or are able to pick them up themselves, I take the day unpaid. On the flip side, I can also take days off with a 1-2 weeks notice. This works because I’m super part time, only 6 hours/week. Another sitter works the other 2 days, and their father watches them the third. However, I do get paid $25/hour, although I am responsible for getting the kids fed and showered for the evening.

In your case, I would consider $20/hour. Guarantee pay for the standard school year, minus federal holidays and school vacation weeks. I’m not sure how much response you’ll get, but if you’re upfront and clear about the job description, I’m sure you’ll attract individuals who are merely looking to supplement their full-time job. This may even include individuals who don’t work with children in their main position (e.g. retail worker), or a student, as in my case.

Good luck![/quote]
