Do you want a nanny or a sitter?

Does HS get out before or after Elem where you are?
HS in Moco gets out first so we hired a HS student to watch DD, She lives in our neighborhood and comes on the days we both work ( only 10 days a month). We pay her $10 an hour for hours a day and pay her every 2 weeks.
If we dont need her on a scheduled day then we pay her anyway, she has a calendar with the days we need her blocked off for us. So I think we are obliged to pay her for those days for being available.
We don't pay her when we are away on vacation or when she is on vacation.

You can $15/ hour if they are only sitting there making sure the kids do their homework, no trouble.
If they have more of a housekeeper role, with cooking dinner, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping before they show up then it'd be $18-25/ hour. If paying that much you should have high expectations for them and the goal is to make your lives easier, not harder.

If don't want her to have a new job when you need her, yes you pay her when you don't need her.

Or maybe her bills take a vacation when you do?


Thats the difference between a job and career. Can't expect people to take care of you and pay your bills when you didn't go to school and babysit the kids.


Plus it's a part time job. Your bills don't affect the pay rate of a part time job.

$15-$20 for a sitter, not a professional nanny
