[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We needed 50 hours of child care. When we were interviewing nanny's we always stated that we needed a minimum of 40 hours (Mon. - Thu) at $15/hr and that we had a part-time sitter in who could pick up the extra 10 hrs on Friday. We simply don't have the money to pay time and a half for the extra ten hours. We gave the option though for the full-time nanny to pick up those extra 10 hours at an "average" of $15/hr for the week. Every one of the 7 nanny's we interviewed wanted the extra 10 hours even though we weren't technically paying time and a half. When we wrote up the final contract we made it legal - $750 for a maximum of 50hrs per week. "

Entirely appropriate and as you note, PP, apparently a very attractive offer to all your candidates since everyone said they preferred this arrangement to the 40 hr a week one.[/quote]

+2.  I have also found that most nannies want the extra hours, despite the fact that accepting those hours at the same average rate as the first 40 hours technically lowers their base rate.[/quote]
