[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We are only expecting her to handle the baby housekeeping, meal prep ( chop veggies) maybe 2-3 times a week, and bring in any packages. As he gets older, we I’ll epdct her to make baby food on occasion, ask her to research activities, and clean up things like the high chair. We do not expect anything did us beyond meal prep. We are offering $20 for 40 hours a week, plus OT for 2 date nights a month. We will offer guaranteed hours,  5 weeks of paid vacation - grandparents will take baby 2 weeks out of the year, and the rest with be holidays, plus a week of her choosing, 5 sick days, and all federal holidays paid. We think this is a generous package. [/quote]

That sounds perfectly reasonable although personally I think meal prep (for the family) is gray area, if your nanny doesn't mind then great.  [/quote]

$20 hour for only 40 hours is low. Most nannies prefer to work closer to 50. [/quote]

I agree $20 is pretty low. But it’s a 3 month old ans s/he might be sleeping a lot. I’m a nanny and I don’t like to work over 40 hours a week. I get paid well so it’s not something I really need. I do have opportunity for OT though. But I kindly decline if I can’t stay late. Also, most nannies should be aware of their finances and if 40 hours at $20/h is too low then they should not accept the position. [/quote]
