[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 25 hrs at her current rate enough for her to live on? Most would quit to find a full time job. Split shift is the hardest to get. Everyone wants it and only wants to pay for hours "used"[/quote]

So what is fair in this situation? Going from full-time to part time care should come with a cost savings, shouldn’t it? I understand split shift is difficult to hire for and that it will likely come with a higher hourly rate than full time care, but I find it odd to suggest that one should pay for more hours than are worked.[/quote]

If I counted all the hours we paid our nanny that she didn't work I'd probably blow a gasket. But you know when I couldn't care how much it is? When a kid is sick and needs to be picked up in the middle of the day. When there's a snow day. When I know without a doubt that my nanny will be there and won't flake out on us because we're only a part-time gig. So, pretty much all the time. You get what you pay for, OP.[/quote]
