[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 25 hrs at her current rate enough for her to live on? Most would quit to find a full time job. Split shift is the hardest to get. Everyone wants it and only wants to pay for hours "used"[/quote] So what is fair in this situation? Going from full-time to part time care should come with a cost savings, shouldn’t it? I understand split shift is difficult to hire for and that it will likely come with a higher hourly rate than full time care, but I find it odd to suggest that one should pay for more hours than are worked.[/quote] That’s why you pay for reserving the time in between shifts and/or add a few small things like meal prep, errands and groceries to increase the hours a nanny needs to be able to survive. Nobody should have to forego basics so that you can have a luxury; in home care is a luxury). Focusing only on cost will result in unreliability and sub-par care from a constantly changing set of sitters.[/quote]
