[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure most parent's say this but we are a laid-back couple looking for a nanny for our first child, who will be 12 weeks when the position starts.

The hours are Monday through Thursday from 8AM - 4:30PM. We plan to pay for 40 hours week even though there will only be 34 hours worked. 
We expect undivided care for our child. We want him to out for a daily walk, read to, interacted with, and treated with love. The only other duties besides the care of our child would be housekeeping pertaining to him i.e his laundry, wash bottles, keep the nursery stocked, change bedding once a week, notify if supplies are low, keep common areas tidy, clean up after herself, and log all aspects of the day into an app.

We would prefer a nanny with at least 5 years with infants, educated, English speaker, physically able to care for a young child, has certifications ( or willingness to get) and vaccinated ( or willingness to get).

With reading what we want and expect, what would you expect as a rate and benefits? [/quote]

I have all that you asked for/do all that you want and started working with a newborn last March.  I'm earning $20 an hour and have all federal holidays paid as well as two weeks paid vacation (employers choose the two weeks in this first year and get no paid sick leave or personal time in this first year).  I also have a college degree.

Just a note - make sure your candidates have proof of certifications and vaccines.  I've heard several nannies say that they lied about having both and their employers never checked.  Also ask to see photo identification (there is no point in running a background check if you cannot be sure the person is who they say they are).

Good luck!  There are wonderful nannies out there and horrible nannies out there.  [/quote]
