[quote=Anonymous]I hired for a position like this a while back due to health issues. Despite paying top end of whatever the nannies asked for (which was also high end of typical rates in the area), people were generally very unreliable and we had to have 3-4 people to get even 80% coverage. I think because it’s part time weekend hours so this is supplemental spending money rather than primary income, people only want to work if it suits their schedule, and aren’t willing to flex their plans and schedule around the job to the degree they would for a full time or weekday job.

All that to say that while a one-off weekend job shouldn’t require much of a premium on rates, a consistent weekend position might actually have a huge premium because most students want to go home or travel over school holidays, and people will cancel if they have plans to see a concert or family is in town visiting, etc. What do you actually value your weekend time at? What would it take for you to feel it’s worthwhile to consistently schedule your weekends around this job, rather than the other way around?[/quote]
