Define "quality" and "novice."

A quality nanny working 50-60 hours a week will expect a contribution to her health insurance.

A novice nanny will not.

Health insurance is not standard.

+1.

In fact, health insurance as a perk is rare here. The vacation sounds about right, though. And definitely pay OT at appropriate rates and reimburse mileage at IRS rates.

So are you looking to have nanny work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day? If so, you'll be narrowing your candidate pool and you will likely wind up with lots of turnover due to burnout. I would strongly suggest that you hire a FT nanny and find a weekend sitter to cover those additional hours.

A fair rate seems to be about $18/hour for the first 40 hours plus $27/hour for the 10+ OT hours. That's $1000/week gross. That would be for a nanny with middle of the road experience. A novice nanny would be cheaper, an extremely experienced nanny will be more expensive. You'll need to offer standard benefits, and guarantee the nanny will be paid 52 weeks a year.

Forgot about benefits.

Hopefully you're offering a competitive benefits package?
5 days paid sick
2 weeks paid vacation (1 week your choice, 1 week nanny's choice)
federal holidays off, paid (the ones you have off)

8am-6pm = 10 hour days
Mon-Fri = 50 hours/week
1 child, newborn

Because of all the overtime, you can probably offer a lower base rate. $16-17 base, and time and a half for the additional 10 hours.
However, I'm not sure you'll find someone willing to regularly give up a Saturday or Sunday every week as well. It would be one thing if it was 1 Saturday night a month, but to ask a nanny to work one an entire day during the weekend after already working a 50 hour week? You'd be better off hiring a separate babysitter for that. Even though the extra money would be great, I know that I need my weekends to decompress and spend time with friends/family.

Ugh, pp here. That's what I get for multitasking. It was full time and temp, not part time.

I worked as a summer nanny in Cleveland park and made $20/hr for 40 hours a week. No housekeeping or non-childcare tasks. No benefits as it was part time (other than guaranteed hours) as it was a temp job. Admittedly it's on the high end but just to give one more data point..

Between $16-18/hr, dending on what type of light housekeeping you are thinking of, will get you great candidates in the CP area.

This is for one child.

My rates start at 25/hr.

You sound high maintenance. So I'd say no less than $18 an hour, and of course time and a half for any overtime, plus benefits.

OP here. some light housework will be required as well.
