Subject: How to make this work for a nanny?
Because the hours are not consistent it may be quite challenging finding someone willing to do this, but don't give up....It IS possible to find someone.
I currently work as a nanny with a family who only give me 6-8 days per month. The days vary by week. This works out good for me as I am on disability and only need a little extra per month to get by.
Perhaps an older retired woman would work.

I think your rate is good. I'm a nanny in Houston and 13/hr for 3 kids is not low, but like others stated, it's the hours.

If you pay 15 an hour its 210 a week. I think nannies are still turned off to that because its not full time so they aren't making a bunch a week like they want to.
Ok well Monday/Wednesday isn't bad, someone who has a Tuesday/Thursday it could work for
BUT
When your husband has the kids - what is done with the nanny? Is this once a month?
A person can't just not work (& not get paid) because your husband has the kids.
I think you need to look at this again. Also look for nannies looking for part time. You wont find a nanny who wants full time but will work for you and hope for another part time job to cover the other days

The variable schedule is your issue OP. You're essentially asking someone to be available 7 days per week, if I'm understanding you correctly, for only $170 per week. Your availability needs prevent a nanny from being able to take a supplemental PT job. You'd either need to get lucky with a candidate who doesn't need the money/has nothing else to do, or you need to solidify the schedule/pay for on call availability.

Are they the same days week to week?
On the weeks it's more than two days is it a set day and is there ample amount of notice?
Are weekends part of the deal?
If nanny takes a part time job from you she may have another part time job for the other days. This could be why some are saying no.

I have 3 girls ages 8,6, and 4. I need someone two days a week from 1 pm- 8 pm.
I am a nurse and I work 1 weekend shift and 2 week days. Some weeks it would be more but its usually just the 2 days.
We put an ad on care.com but everyone says no because it only works out to about 170 a week and thats at about 13 per hour. We are in Dallas, Tx so thats a bit above the going rate for an after school care type of job(I think)
How can i make this job more interesting and worth the work?
