[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely would NOT do this if it's for 200-300/week. I was thinking closer to $15/hour ($3000/mo for full time). That would be enough extra cash to continue finish paying down my student loans and have some breathing room in our budget.

I can look into the adjunct thing. I really don't want to do legal work on the side.

My ideal would be to find someone who has an older child who goes to my DD's school and a baby who needs care, so that they'd be on the same schedule as us and live/commute to our area.

Serious question- who do you think you are? Let's be real here. No one is going to pay you $15/hr when you have zero nanny experience and haven't even looked after your own kids full time!! Nannies with 10 years experience don't make $15/hr from a share ($15 + $15 = $30hr, you have to count your kids). You say your other child will be away the whole time which is 1) awful 2) red flag (why hire someone who can't care for their own child?) 3) not true. There's sick days, snow days and school closures. When the newborn needs shots, I suppose your 'share' child will have to come? If you run out of diapers or an emergency item and have to go to the store, share child will have to come?

Your situation is wayyyyy more complicated than a nanny who comes to the house in a share without kids, potential errands, school closures and an elitist attitude. The biggest red flag is that you think you are entitled to $3000 a month (haaaaaaa) and don't deserve typical share rates when you have zero nanny experience. You also aren't doing this because you like kids (clearly you're not a caring person if your other child is sent away from early morning to evening to make your life convenient) you're only doing it for the money. RED FLAG. [/quote]
