$50k a year guaranteed on top of having only one child for most of the day, plus car... a great setup indeed.
You can get the top of the line nanny in the DC area for what you are describing.
Interesting. Why call it paid leave instead? Is that the norm?

I would consider including 3-5 days of sick leave.
That guaranteed weekly salary will be extremely attractive in today's marketplace.
Thanks! I read elsewhere that 3-5 days was standard.

The preschool follows the public schools, so there are random days off and early dismissals. We would do 2 weeks paid vacation, one of our choosing and one of nanny's choosing, and all federal holidays off. The only housework required would be meal prep and clean-up for the children, no laundry or anything like that. We have a car for the nanny's use. We are thinking of offering a guaranteed gross salary of $50,000, which breaks down to $16/hour for the first 40 and $24 for the OT hours. Is that too little?

No, top of the line nannies earn more than $16/hr. You're ridiculous.
