We had a live-out nanny for our 3 and 2 year old. We paid her $14 an hour.
We used Kijiji for our search and had a few good applicants and a lot of flakes. Also, you'll probably receive a few applications from mothers who want to bring their child along as well.
If I could suggest anything, make it a requirement that they have "reliable transportation" or live fairly close to you. It narrows the field of applicants but there will be fewer excuses for being late. We had an applicant living in Crowfoot apply with us when we live in McKenzie Towne. I didn't even bother calling her because I knew she would grow tired of traveling an hour both ways every day and I'd be searching again in a month.
