[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is going away for the summer (about two months) and we are bringing our nanny to watch our two kids, 7 and 15 months.  My brother and his 11 yo DS live in the area and we've been talking about having my nephew spend one day a week with my family.  They don't live that close (up to an hour's drive) and my brother works so he'd drop off my nephew in the morning and pick him up in the evening.

Our nanny's work day is 10-5.  The one day a week our nephew spends with us, I'm thinking that the nanny takes my two kids and nephew out for a few hours to the playground or park in the afternoon and brings them home.  Otherwise, my nephew won't be with her at all except when we all have lunch together, but nanny won't have to do anything for him.

How should I approach this with nanny?  Is it necessary that I offer her extra pay?  I'll be honest, I'd rather not give her extra $$ since 1) my nephew is an [b]independent 11 yo who needs little oversight[/b], not a small child and 2) while yes, an extra child is more responsibility, his being there makes nanny's job easier; he will play with my 7yo, freeing nanny up to focus on my toddler.  If he weren't there, nanny would have to try to keep both the 7yo and toddler entertained, which is not easy.  [/quote]

Yes you pay her. It is not about how much oversight they need but the fact that she will be responsible for him while she is with him.[/quote]
