My advice is to up the hours by 15 and add in more responsibilities and a date night. For a legal-to-work, I’d say upwards of $23 to $25 an hour. That also gets you someone who is on call for sick days and school holidays.
I would do this, too. We have our nanny work part-time with our kids and part-time for us/as a house manager. She wanted to stay with us when the kids started school so we agreed. During the summer or other times when they're out of school she is full-time with the kids. We also do one late night a week during the school year. It works out great and you know you have someone all the time who can pivot between nanny and house manager as needed. Kids home from school for snow days? She has them covered. Someone to be there for the cable guy to come during a six-hour window? She has that covered.

It’s not a myth in Los Angeles (I wish it were). You won’t find someone reliable for the same hourly as a full time and they’ll leave when they find a full time job.
And 25 hours a week during the week precludes the nanny from getting a second job.
