[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider myself to be an ethical nanny, I charge fair rates, don't misrepresent my skills, etc. Most nannies do not make $30 although some with specialized skills do.

The issue with your position is that its most of the business day so any candidate likely will rely on this job to meet all of their cost of living needs. Therefore, you need to be prepared to pay an amount that a person can live on. Second, are you building in any break or rest time? Deep cleaning and herding three kids will be a lot of work.

Extending this to eight hours each day will build in the necessary rest time that your employee is going to need. Otherwise, expect to increase your hourly pay to account for those variables.[/quote]

It's only 6 hours, you can rest before and after work. Plus 6 hours leaves plenty of time for a second part-time job.[/quote]

Yes but this employee will be doing manual labor. While anyone can work any number of hours in a 24 hour period if they choose to, manual labor is not the type of work one does and then goes to put in another 4-6 hours someplace else. This is America so OP can ask for anything under the sun and either legally or illegally she will probably find it. It may not be the quality she would like though.[/quote]
