[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is incredabily generous.  You should be able to attract someone first rate.  [b]We pay $300 a week for a similar setup (50 hours a week)[/b] in NArlington except we provide a car to use on the off-hours.  APs make $190 a week for 45 hours, but there are other fees involved.

I would actually advertise this as a range and ask candidates what they are looking for.  Also, I would include date night once a week in the contact.

Wow - this is not even minimum wage! I think the OPs $10/hour is fair - and NOT incredibly generous. [/quote]

Nope, it's fair.  This is a young women with no nanny experiance, right out of school.  She has NO bills.  We cover room, board, car, insurnace and cell phone.  This is a substantial benefit, esp in a high-cost area.  My friends with APs pay $200 a week and my live-in nanny who is the same age and experiance level is paid 50% more.  Granted she works five more hours than the APs do, but I had tonss of candidates apply at this salary level.  PP who is paying $13 an hour for 50 hours a week is waaaaaaaay over paying, just as she suspects. [/quote]
