[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The quality of the applicant pool on care.com is directly tied to the price point you offer as wages -- ESPECIALLY for a part-time job.  So you'll want to consider that as you're searching.  Want good applicants?  Go as high as you can afford in what you're offering as wages, and include that in your advertisement.  It will draw better candidates.  This is not a time to be bargain hunting.  And you will get better applicants to consider if you include that wage amount in your ad.[/quote]

I have had a few part time nannies (there has been more turn over because of change of circumstances and schedules with part time).  Ironically the lowest paid one happened to be the best.  The two that demanded high pay were quite disappointing, and certainly no better because they wanted to be paid more.  So I disagree that high pay=best nanny.  There are some good nannies at different rates, and some lousy ones who expect a lot.  Posting higher will increase the number of people you get if you have to post a salary, but I would not post what you are offering, have people come to you and see what they expect.  [/quote]
