[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm an MB in MoCo and I agree w/ Nanny Deb. If you're paying less than $15/hr for a part-time position I think your expectations re laundry, cooking, and training your kids are too high. I think you're underestimating what it takes to teach and discipline your kids, and underestimating what people are interested in doing for part-time work. $15/hr isn't "premium" rates. It's a reasonable baseline rate for decent childcare - but it is nowhere near premium. I would expect to pay more like $18/hr for the type of work you're describing. You need a strong, capable adult for what you're describing (in my opinion) and I don't think the rate you're offering is sufficient to command the skills you need. Not trying to be harsh - just trying to give you another mother's perspective. You're not getting what you want for what you're paying - so you either need to adjust your expectations or increase your pay. Or maybe get very lucky.[/quote]
