[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't say where you are located OP (unless I missed it) and that's important in terms of rate.

I think your plan is putting you on the VERY high end rate-wise for one baby.  So you will be able to command whatever you want at that level.

However, I also think it's unnecessary and I agree with your husband. You will have equally wonderful candidates at the $18/hr level and that leaves you far more room for growth over the years.

Rate alone does not equal excellence - though it certainly can buy you the ability to be extremely picky, and even to be a more difficult employer.

But with what you're describing I think you plan to seriously overpay and I don't really understand why you would start there.  What if you have other kids?  What if your schedule changes and you need more than 40 hours a week (so your overtime rate is $30+/hr.)  What if you have another child and want to keep the same nanny but she then expects a significant increase over already high wages.

Think long-term.

We live in the Kalomara Heights area.

Overpay if you want - but if you do, demand absolute excellence.[/quote][/quote]
