[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You pay nanny mileage if she is using her own car, or you can provide a car instead. You always provide the seats. If nanny goes to pickup your car, then when she gets there, the clock starts. If she uses her own car, I'd start the clock based on distance to the school and getting there a bit before kids get out.

If, for example, the school is 30 minutes drive from her house but only 15 to your house, then it would be 15 minutes added to the clock of paid time. If the school is closer than your house, then no time added. When I did school pickup, my worked hours always included 15 minutes before the kids got out so that I was there and ready for them. Generally you'd show up early so you could park and not be late, so parents always found it fair to pay me for that buffer of time as I'd be more inclined to leave the house earlier.

Be aware that many nannies that do after school only work will be college students. You might need to find 2 nannies to provide coverage for the whole week depending on their availability. Or you might be able to find a nanny that has another morning only position.

Because PT is harder to fill and there is a national nanny shortage going on, your best bet to find candidates and keep them on would be to offer guaranteed hours (pay them for their schedule every week even if you don't need them) and provide some basic benefits like a few days of sick leave and pay for federal holidays off, and offer paid vacation for at least Christmas week. If a nanny does multiple PT jobs to fill a FT schedule for themselves, they will probably require this.[/quote]

This is SO helpful, thank you![/quote]
