Would you accept if your nanny volunteered to work an extra half hour for free?

Yep, some here really crack me up.

OP, I think the nanny insisting that it's her own choice is as a pp mentioned, because if there are days she wants to leave on time or just doesn't want to stay later anymore, great and no biggie. I understand your concern about it being time and a half pay extra though and a possible legal issue later on, so you can tell the nanny nah, it's fine and just have her leave at the usual time too.

You say some crack you up and then you go on to contradict yourself with saying possible legal issue. You are stupid.

NP here. Do none of you ever stay late to complete a project or task?

Why can’t the nanny decide for herself?

I'm paid a salary. I'm guessing nanny is paid hourly, therefore she needs to be compensated for all time worked.

If she is hourly, no.
One cannot work over and decide just to do so. Legalities. You know this.

But she’s not “working”. She’s choosing to stay to hang out with just the older child. Mother is now in charge.

Sorry, I’m a nanny and I honestly don’t see the problem.

+1. Another nanny here and I don’t see the problem either. Nannies are fully capable of making their own choices.

So you’re breaking multiple laws. Fun.

All nannies are hourly.

Treating a nanny as a salaried employee is illegal. Nannies are non-exempt employees. Their time must be tracked and they must be paid overtime.

It’s very kind of her but I feel weird accepting.

Absolutely not. In fact, this may be illegal for an hourly employee.

No. You need to tell your child no when he asks her. She is just being polite. She does not want to stay an extra 30 min reading to your kid every day. However, she is likely young and wants to be nice and doesn’t know how to say no and doesn’t want you to think she’s being rude or unkind to your kid. You have to teach your kid that nanny gets to go home when you come home and has other things to do.
