[quote=Anonymous]OP- I run a local nanny agency and we place a ton of nanny/household manager hybrid roles. These are the most important things to consider:

-Are you seeking household management help or housekeeping help? These are different roles and will attract very different candidates with skill sets accordingly.

-If you only need part time, the schedule HAS to be realistic to allow for a candidate to get a second job. When families post for a nanny M-F from 11-4pm for example, it would be very very dfificult for someone to find a position from 8am-10:30am and/or 4-6pm to make full time hours. You have to either do 5 half days morning or afternoons (8-12 or 1-5) or 2-3 full days.

-PT jobs pay on the higher end of market rate. There are SO many full time jobs available right now that there has to be some incentive for a candidate to be open to two part time positions.

-In order to retain a long term candidate you'll have to offer industry standard benefits (modified for a PT role).

-Be very clear in your description that this will be a role along side a SAHM. Many candidates are ok with this set up, but some aren't and you don't want to waste your time (or theirs) speaking with candidates that won't be a good fit.

Hope that helps![/quote]
