[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you are going to have a REALLY hard time filling this position. First off, asking for four weekdays and one weekend day every week will put off many candidates. Second, the hours and pay are not enough for a nanny to live on. Third, part time hours and pay can be appealing *IF* you are offering a schedule that will allow the nanny to get another part time job with a different family as well. 12-5 five days a week does NOT offer that option (I have been a nanny for many years and have often done two part time jobs with two different families, but it was always either something like two 10 hour days with one family and three 9 hour days with another, OR it was split daily like 8am to 1pm with one family and 2pm to 6:30pm with another).

I'd actually love something about 30 hours per week at that rate, and with mornings off you can very easily find a morning only position to help fill out your schedule if wanting more hours. I might try as an employer to be flexible about doing 1-6pm instead, or as the PP also mentioned, maybe do mornings if you are able to switch it to AM. To work 5 days a week but have one weekday off would be wonderful for running errands and appointments that can only be done weekdays. I would want Fri/Sat off myself and work Sun-Thu, but you might ask if they want Sunday off for church.[/quote]
