[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous] Man, there are a lot of insecure women on this board.  (Or their husband proved to be a bunch of  sleazy horn dogs. )Either way, it's really sad! Sheesh![/quote]

It's also often the case that nannies will choose not to work for "single" dads, especially in a LI situation, which maybe the direction OP goes if all she can afford is $200/week.

However, OP, legally you have to pay at least minimum wage for a nanny, LI or LO. And paying "Nanny Taxes" should be done as well.

Guessing that you're looking at 36 hours a week, with a 6 day work week, minimum wage = $261/week. Could even a LI nanny pay her bills on that wage? I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no.

So either you're looking at an AP (if you can find one for just 6 months) at around $24K/year, or you're looking for 2 college students willing to split the shift and who will likely expect "babysitting" rates of $12 - $15/hour (approximately $500/week), or you're looking for a grandma type retiree to LI who will likely also expect more than minimum wage, or you are looking for a nanny, who will likely want about $600/week.

Good luck to you![/quote]
