[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]

The fair thing is that you put together a job with part time hours, and pay what the market will pay for those part time hours, and your current nanny moves on to a full time position with an excellent reference from you.  It’s no different from any other job.  You might find someone in school who wants those hours, or a mom who wants to bring her own baby, but more likely you will find that you need to pay significantly more, and maybe even as much as you have been paying, in which case you can choose to hire someone new, or have your nanny stay on for guaranteed hours, or use before/aftercare at the elementary school.[/quote]
