[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We ran through 3 nannies who just could not be reliable, offering $25, in Baltimore. Now we have an au pair. It's not ideal but it's the only thing that worked. [/quote]
I don't believe you, or you don't know how to be a good nanny employer.

In a place like Baltimore, $25/hr. is unheard of.

Yeah, au pair agencies are trolling this forum *big* time.[/quote]

Also, PP - note that $25/hour is unheard of for a full time position. The trouble with getting someone to show up for two hours, is that if you with a more typical rate, it's too low to make sense. $15/hour for a full day, sure. $30, probably not worth your trouble. [/quote]

Exactly. Our schedule sucks. It's 1 hour in the morning and 3-4 after preschool. True professional nannies have absolutely no interest, even at $25/hr. [/quote]

Professional nannies are happy to take your position, if you advertise it correctly.  If you list it as time with the child: 1 hour mornings, 3-4 afternoons, then laundry (child's)/cooking (child's)/cleaning child's toys and room: during preschool hours, and are fine with the nanny using those hours any way she wants after she completes those things, you'll be fine.  If you want to pay for only 4-5 hours per day, yes it'll be hard to find.[/quote]
