We pay her when we don't need her. It is well worth it.

I would rather you pay her a living wage instead of guaranteed hours. Offer them $25 an hour instead, you will find a great applicant. At most you will only take a week or two of vacation per year so guaranteed hours is less important than paying a fair wage.

Are you aware of the difference in cost of living between DC and Pittsburg? Just look at housing costs and average salaries.

Where exactly do you get good adult sitters for $12/hr? I know high school kids who get $10/hr.

MB here. I think you answered your own question - if you want whomever you hire to treat this as reliable income, which presumably they will work to maintain, then you need to approach it the same way.
Guaranteeing hours makes you look serious as an employer and committed to/respectful of the person you're hiring.
I think it's worth doing. Much more affordable and easier in the long run to achieve longevity with someone you like, that to penny-pinch and have to be rehiring regularly (or not being able to rely on someone you've hired.)

If you wish to keep her, then I would suggest making guaranteed hours part of your offer.

If you want them to treat it that way, then your best bet is to guarantee a certain amount of pay for hours every week, even if those hours aren't used.

We are fortunate to be able to arrange our work schedules so that we only need help with our infant 20-25 hours a week. The nannies we interviewed so far asked for around $12 an hour. Wondering if we should offer to pay for certain minimum number of hours even on weeks when we don't need them or need them less (we're on vacation, etc). We want to make sure whoever we choose treats this as a reliable source of income rather than a babysitting gig they could drop at any time.
