[quote=Anonymous]OP, just market this as a job that pays $1520 a week that starts at 7 am Monday and ends at 7 pm Tuesday, for an average hourly rate of $20.  Most nannies around here negotiate in terms of a weekly rate, not a base rate and OT.  Then specify in your contract that the weekly pay breaks down to $16.18 base rate for the first 40 hours and $24.27 OT for the last 36 hours.

Regardless of what the nannies on this board say, your position will appeal to many people simply because of the high earning potential.  However, I'm not sure you'll find many candidates with ten or more years experience plus English as a first language and a college degree.  Most people who fit that profile are going to have families or a S/O or be otherwise unwilling to completely detach from their own lives during the week.  There's nothing wrong with the job or rate, but you should consider opening the position to nannies with 2 years experience.  That will open up a good sized pool of twenty-somethings who are contemplating grad school or otherwise unsettled, many of whom would jump at the chance to earn 80K for what amounts to about 60 hours of actual work and another 48 hours of on call time during which the nanny can basically do what she wants as long as she remains available and in the house.  Plenty of twenty-somethings earn less than 80K in salaried positions and they work such long hours that they don't see much of their homes M-F either.[/quote]
